At The Hand Of The Weak

He was the scourge of the plains,

And nary a man stood before him.

The notches of dead were on his belt,

As many a man died trying to kill him.

 

Though he had only a six shooter,

It was one shot that killed the brave.

Stand not or give him any lip

Or you will die and not be called brave.

 

O fool that I shoud be the one

To test his aim, though I were weak,

He drew and both guns were heard.

He fell and died at the hand of the weak

A straight shootin' tale.

That's why they called the six shooter, "The Equalizer." I know that the meek will inherit the earth, and all that stuff, but if it weren't for the strong, we wouldn't be here at all. I learned recently that Genghis Khan may have impregnated over 1000 women he raped. As a result, most of us can trace our ancestry back to Genghis Khan, a very strong, if disliked, individual.

For a moment there I thought you had shot Josey Wales.
But nobody can outdraw or out shoot Clint, the man, the legend, the mayor of Carmel. Nobody.
