If Love Was A Gun

If love was a gun, what would its bullets be would ammunition be the cure for poverty I see, would every round that pierces minds be the missing link, would every round pervade our hearts and change the way we think If love was a gun then would love be everywhere would evening news be filled of hope for everyone to share

Great poem. And you are an artist with this form, Mike. I tried this form, it does not work for me, We can see a gun as evil, a gun cam kill the innocent and also save lives, I think our words are powerful, too for good or evil. Great message, Pangie xx

Awesome shape poem, Mike. My feeling: If love were a gun, a rainbow would come out when you pull the trigger. ~ Just sayin'

Nice shape, very clever.. If love was a gun, we would need a lot of bullets to eradicate all the hate and genocide in this world... and there is also a lot of poverty to eradicate, do we have enough bullets?
