Gun

Gun! What an invention you are!
Easily available in every bazaar!

People use you as a toy for the sake of fun!
With your entry entirely a new culture has begun!

In a lunatic’s hand you have become a wild stone!
Whichever the direction you are thrown is not known!

The purpose of your invention is only to defend!
But it has opened the gates for a new trend!

People become very bizarre when possessing you!
They use you indiscriminately not knowing who is who!

Seeing you in someone’s hand, people stand still!
Is it humane, killing the innocent and calling it a thrill?

People kill each other, seeking their needs to fulfill!
For checking this mayhem, who has to invent a pill?

I do not find fault with you, believe what I say is true!
It all depends upon the wisdom of people who use you!

It is disgusting to see the availability of guns in markets. It kills thousands of innocent people worldwide. Great win.
