Did “they” just try to clip me?
Puleeze.
Is that all they had?
A mere, alleged, something to bring me to one knee
For no longer than it takes to draw my next breath
And unsheathe my sword of Dedication?
I am well trained.
Call me by my appropriate name in battles such as this.
I am Soldier Gurly.
Just, plain Loyal to the grave.
Tell them to “go ahead and make my day.”
How long has it been since I said,
“I will take a bullet for you?”
Long enough for you to know that I will.

Brigid, rising, for Sting

Analysis

Poem uses good "antipathy" ensconced within succinct words

----- Example: ... clip ... Puleeze ...

----- WHICH CAN BE BROKEN DOWN TO: "lip pull" "pull easy" "pull please"

----- strikes a tone and maintains it well

Oh my — a sub with attitude, responding with an attitude of, "Is that all you've got? Is that the best you can do?!" Fascinating new name given you BTW. Take time & Google "Brigid" and its roots in Celtic mythology.
