A World Without Violence
when it's taught
and they see it
or hear it, then
they speak it,
'that's a shame',
but who's to blame
it's not their way
to seek it
weaponry and hate
are a combination
for an unnatural
and unresponsibledisaster
excuses are plentiful
blood is abundant
debates inevitable
among politicalpundants
second amendment
and the NRA
claim they have the appropriate way
for safety to reign in a
country of tainted lands
whose only concern is
money and bullets
changing hands
we can't say yet
that it's all in past
violence been around since the
takeover took place
in most situations
it's a matter of race
every day in some cities
people all and their
21st century lynchings
that have to stall
it can be hard to
walk tall in city
o violent giants and it
spreads all over the world
with the intention of
dictated violenceand what
are we to do?
untimely deaths ain't up
for debate, so
in truth we may
not have a clue
it has to stop
starting from the top
