Weapons Cause Mass Destruction

A sobering thought the guns and knives
It appears to be normal to take a life,
Crime does not pay “a tradition” NO WAY
The devastation, grieving process,
If not tackled is here to stay.

A social issue I heard you say stems from
The problems in society today. Marriage breakdown,
Family dysfunction on every hand, Implementing strict 
Laws and guidelines are just part of the plan.

The whole nation is against this practice of crime
The sadness grief, and lost from time to time,
Much help is at hand you’re not alone,
Get rid of the weapons and renew your mind.

Parents and guardians we’re calling on you, 
Do all you can today? Be the best you can be, 
Exercise genuine love, and stability,
Provoke good relation, and accept some responsibility.
