Nothing Works But the Gun
That's what it feels like
in this contemporary 21st Century
Mass murders, massacres
a daily occurrence
Is this what makes
the World tick?
Nothing Works But The Gun
It seems as if
we bow down, worship
this mechanical destruction
of our societies
There has to be a better way
You're not safe anywhere:
on streets; at concerts;
in schools (even elementary):
shopping; driving: etc!
It's a shame
that we can't enjoy life
without these concerns.
When will we learn?
They say "Nothing Works But The Gun."
