Guns

Fifty-Nine Dead, 597 Injured by Gun—US Tragedy—We continue to kill each with abandon!

Needles without thread
Stallone without stones
Marriage without love
Man without his gun

Romeo without Juliet
Parson without parish
Ocean without motion
Man without his gun

John without Marsha
Taylor without arrows
Pryor without fire
Man without his gun

Joplin without McGee
Monroe without Joltin' Joe
George Herman without Babe
Man without his gun

More dead, more guns
Blood spewing forth, more guns
Insanity embraced, more guns
A mother pleads, take your guns to town boy
A mother and 58 more plead, here are my sons, my daughters
I provide them to you, use your guns, do what you must, kill them
Guns, embraced by the ultimate lethal weapon, man…more guns, more guns
