Guns.
Great weapons of mass protection
America’s obsession with the collection of their most prized possession.
Pristine, perfection
The ability to defend you and your family against any aggression or anger,
That true security against oppression and danger to preserve civility
The force one can have to hold a firearm in two arms or one hand to cause harm, reprimand and-
The power… so much power…
The capacity in every caliber to cause a catastrophe,
A millimеter makes a mass murder,
A singlе bullet can decimate,
A single pull back can create a memorial, a mass wake
Filling up orphanages and crematories
You see stories in the news
Take a look at Sandy Hook
That day you turn the front page and oh
Here's the names of Olivia Engel and Jessie Lewis
And Emilee Parker and Josephine Gay
And 16 other children who never reached eight years of age...
Due to a 12 gauge
These methods of protection have more victims than terrorism
Smith and Wesson cause more deaths than Harold Shipman
A single semi automatic makes a need for a medic
Legally obtained in exchange for a promise to abstain
From changing the position of the chamber from one type of prey
To another
But it’s our right, right?
Amendment number two, it’s what makes our country alright, right?
You know, our country
The same space with shootings in first place
Over 25 times higher than any other state
Yet in some of the state’s states
You can be permitted one with no permit and no need to registrate
No matter the mental state
It just takes a double action and double tap,
A double barrel with a double stack of bodies piling up and up following an attack
No blanks in the barrel, just bullets and powder, black
“Wait but that’s not fair, it’s the mentally ill that kill, I’m sane, I swear”
Who’s to back up that claim when there’s ne’er anybody there to even care
One can only hope to have luck that the opportunity lacks
And that the conflict is self inflicted,
No criminal left to be convicted
Already the remedy can be there
The pill that is taken is that magic bullet
Just a single touch at the trigger and pull it
The suppressive acting as a depressive
That’s enough to be content
Already a gun raises self-slaughter 300 percent
But some people won’t be able to prevent
If someone chooses to use their “self defense”
You look the wrong way at the wrong guy and on sight
You lose the right to live
The silencer silences. The rude get the Ruger.
Any Tommy with a Tommy can become a shooter.
It is unreal how you don’t even need conceal to walk into a place where people are sealed and cock that Glock back and make any business a battlefield
Any Target or common site can be the target in one’s iron sights
Even that recent shooting in Boulder?
My own step father had to clean up the victims of that King Soopers shooter
There’s already been over a hundred shootings this year
So yes, I’d say that’s enough to recoil in fear
Every time a child hears a loud snap across the sky and they cower and hide,
Thinking they might die I mean,
This is the world they reside
Instead of learning the differences between wrong and right,
And how to read and write,
They’ve been taught “Locks, Lights, Out of Sight”
When they’re young they’re taught to look up to enforcers of the law
But that facade fades and they stay out of their way in case they get shot
Cause they can get away with a lot but
I guess that’s a whole different topic
I know it’s a difficult subject that disjoints any setting
But the hollow point is to open and start blood letting
Us talk about it
Just conversation at least flowing.
Getting out of our shells,
Taking a round,
And having our mental scars showing
Let’s get a grip on our headspace and extract pain prior
Take some action, gauge our emotions and try not misfire
