Why Guns

Who created guns? For what purpose? For territorial expansion By power hungry politicians? For self defence? Of what? Transient body? Wealth? It can be earned again! We are ready to take a life For flimsy reasons Without thought! Humans are selfish But selfish enough to kill? At times thousand for no valid reason Human heartlessness at display And common man watches speechless Not a word in opposition As if we don't care Are we behaving responsibly! Is this maturity? Is this intelligence? 23.04.2021 Contest Name : GUNS Sponsor : Anthony Biaanco

No matter what the justifications for guns, it is perfectly clear to me that "we [are] behaving irresponsibly." And if we cannot behave responsibly, then the guns should be taken away from us. That's just commonsense!
