The Gun

 

The Gun

© by Bud Lemire on May 25, 2022

My heart is heavy, my heart is like lead

I try not to think about it, before going to bed

When the day is so busy, in the quiet of the night

There's so much that's wrong, when it should be all right

Crazy people with guns, shooting everyone everywhere

The schools, the stores, giving everyone a scare

What's this world coming to, when someone can carry a gun

And go on a shootout in this world, killing everyone

I think people buying guns, before crossing the line

Need a psyche evaluation, it may stop the crime

Yet then again, it could just happen one day

When sane turns to insane, and the psycho got away

Will we ever truly understand, what makes them do

Like having a shootout, did we miss a clue

I keep thinking, of what the relatives go through

Losing a loved one, the grief that's so true

We've been battling this issue, for many a year

What will it take, before we lose someone we hold dear

We need new laws, for the weapons that kill

To cut out these shootings, maybe pass a new bill

We need to crack down, before it kills everyone

Because it's gotten so crazy, when it comes to The Gun

I truly believe the gun issue needs to be reviewed more,

and new action must be taken to insure the safety of our

citizens. We need to find a way to make it safer for us.

So we don't have to worry about being shot when we go

somewhere. There must be a way, let's find it.
