Gun Law
Do men grow up from little boys?
Do they put away their childish toys?
Some join the forces and go to war and
Kill someone they never knew before
The grown-up game they play as they
Become more cynical, day by day
They use a gun
Is this necessary, or just for fun?
It's so sad
And bad
It should not be
A blot on all humanity
Do we teach boys
Who played with toys
It's manly to own a gun
To shoot a so-called enemy
Is this how wars began
These games have no place
If we want a better world for
The human race
