Men and Guns

Men with guns must protect
themselves from
men with guns

men with guns
insist they must have guns
many men with guns
kill innocent people

all men with guns say
it is our right
to be men with guns

don't take away our guns
men say
take away our guns
and we will shoot you


we will fight you to have guns
because guns give us power over
other men with guns

guns don't kill people
people kill people

we say people with guns
kill people

it is more important
to have guns
than not to have guns
men with guns insist

the lives of others
without guns
are not as important
as the right to
have guns

guns will be with us
until we as a people
men, women and children
see guns in men's hands
as very dangerous, indeed
