Another American Dies By a Gun
Guns are war weapons,
weapons for war,
weapons of force
for military conflict, nothing more.
When life is dangerous,
when enemies take territory,
intent to hurt and terrorise
roam freely the streets
of cities ruined when bombs rain the skies,
guns are for taking lives,
machines to kill through military skill.
Never in peacetime is there an excuse.
Never in peacetime do guns have a use.
In countries illegal, no one wants them legal,
the land of the free allows a bullet in you
the land of liberty littered with guns,
guns that kill the little and young,
freedom aye,
though their free they could die any day,
cus from east to westside through patriotic pride
they allow the possibility life is denied,
parents are told that their children have died,
another young couple bury a child,
gun robbing life in peacetime, but why?
Parents distraught heartbroken and no one
or nothing will ever replace their baby now dead by a gun.
Liberty, none,
Freedom, gun,
only in America does this story happen,
other countries don’t allow guns and freedoms to kill,
I guess all but America have freedom and liberty real.
Dying in freedom everyday,
there is no justice or liberty in the USA.
