No more guns

Imagine owning a gun and you are doing it for fun only for it to bring you harm you become its casualty or end up serving a penalty while it becomes your reality Destruction is a language they speak fed on bullets that they later spit thirsty for blood that they spill Bringing life to a sudden end while everyone apportions blame for many, life doesn’t remain the same While some use guns to settle scores they don’t know how much blood flows they will not admit their flaws Robbing many of both property and life they have to take cover in order to survive giving thanks if they come out alive prompting security and the alarms to the response of sheriffs on alert keeping many awake all night Intervention comes with caution to tread with precaution though it’s a temporary solution The law on gun use, Enforced on those culpable for abuse as long as evidence is adduced With no limits to jurisdiction they should all earn a conviction if they are no false accusations That should serve as a deterrent making sure it is not recurrent ridding society of abhorrence To create a safe place for all freedom to associate for all we live once after all Let’s engage in battles of words Although they pierce our hearts they cause no physical hurt Using pen and paper to fight won’t cause loss of life Everyone will be fighting to be heard which gets us all to work hard because there is a leveled ground answers must to be found to questions that linger in our minds
