If Love Was A Gun

     
    If love was a gun, what would its bullets be  
    would ammunition be the cure for poverty I 
      see, would every round that pierces minds
                       be the     missing link, would every 
                      round         pervade our hearts and
                              change the way we think 
                                           If love was a gun
                                            then would love 
                                              be everywhere
                                               would evening 
                                                 news be filled 
                                                     of hope for 
                                                         everyone 
                                                          to share

Great poem. And you are an artist with this form, Mike. I tried this form, it does not work for me, We can see a gun as evil, a gun cam kill the innocent and also save lives, I think our words are powerful, too for good or evil. Great message, Pangie xx

Awesome shape poem, Mike. My feeling: If love were a gun, a rainbow would come out when you pull the trigger. ~ Just sayin'

Nice shape, very clever.. If love was a gun, we would need a lot of bullets to eradicate all the hate and genocide in this world... and there is also a lot of poverty to eradicate, do we have enough bullets?
