Christopher Goss Poet Free verse

Weapons They Use

A gun may kill
But an idea may massacre
An idea is pervasive
It can be poisonous
Infecting millions
Spreading lies
Deep into the roots
Tainting the future
For generations
An idea is hard to kill
A gun is a gun
It's just a means to an end
It is the outcome
Of a civilization failing
When lies trumpet as truth
Nobody is safe
And they become a martyr
For their lies
Sure, a gun may kill
But an idea may massacre
The weapons they use
Are lies, slander, and deceit
Make no mistake
These are more dangerous
Than any gun

Panagiota Romios June 2, 2019 at 5:37 PM The GUN is their crucifix. Dead bodies, their communion and joy. Lies~ the core of their belief. See my previous Comnent.

Panagiota Romios June 2, 2019 at 5:34 PM Calling CNN, MSNBC, NYTimes and WAPO! Never saw such hoodlum liars poisoning Americans and the world. No shame at all. Just into destruction. Panagiota
