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
