Murder By Numbers

The second amendment gives the right to bear arms 
The sixth commandment says thy shall not murder
The Koran states 17:33 and do not take any humans life 
so what on this earth gives you the right.

Orlando pays a heavy price for a shooters hatred , 50 dead
Sandy Hook he entered a school and took innocent lives , 27 dead
Virginia tech , you go to learn then you die , 32 dead 
to take other people's lives

300 millions guns thats a lot of hate 
in 30 states a child can hold a rifle license
only 7 states ban assault rifles 
the tears and grief you bring 

15 minutes is all at took 2016 first shooting of the year
27 people slayed on xmas day 
60 percent of suicides are gun related 
come on america ditch the arms       

so what on this earth gives you right
to take other people's lives
the tears and grief you bring
come on america ditch the arms         


the poems the last verse the rest tells you why
