Guns and Chomsky


Professor Chomsky was not wrong
Talking to Epstein, great men tend to be naïve
and impressed by a well-placed question 
about philosophy, as this school of thoughts
have many answers
Humanity has a breaking point because we
secretly mad, but of course, keep this insight
to ourself
That is why no one should be allowed to have
guns, or pistols, at home, those who need can
Belong to a club and leave the weapon there
When going and not being tempted to kill his wife
like the man who shot his wife ten times and
only wounded her
Other prisoners in the jail that they sent him to 
will have great fun with that
I served in the Royal Navy for 18th month, but
When they wanted me to hold a gun, I refused
They sent me back to a small office where
I spent time making food lists.
Sure, I know the argument, the right to wear
arms to protect your family, not to kill their
own flesh and blood before shooting themselves
