The idle ramblings of a Jack of some trades, Master of none

Gun

when I hear 
the word 
culture,
I reach 
for a gun 

the gun plays 
a major role in
contemporary 
art 

with a gun 
artists 
paint pictures 

with a gun 
poets 
draw poems 

musicians 
gather consonances 
with the gun 

filmmakers 
with a gun 
shoot 
eminent 
movies 

maybe 
even I 
can 
with the aid of a gun 
extract 
something
from myself.

An extract from the poem by the Ryazanian poet Alexei Kolchev who died in 2013. (Via Colta.ru.)
