Gun violence

May 24, 2018

Gun violence making all the kids grow up
Gun violence making it so cold that the streets froze up
Taking lives back to back
Time and people lost and we can’t stop that

Better hope that you don’t run out of luck
Because gun violence has everyone yelling “duck”
And honestly the times are getting pretty tough
Put the guns away, we are all fed up

Families torn apart
Mommas with broken hearts
Where did it all start
Guns smoking like cigars

Most kids thinking that it’s fun
To run, run, run and play with a gun
But little do they know that theirs lives will be lost
Picking up a gun for free but honestly at what cost?

It’s free to equip them
Leading to many victims
Honestly it’s a Loss both ways
One person dead, one in the system
Are there parents not with them?
Did the devil befriend them?
We all just wish to defend them
Memories are all we have left, let’s re-live them
Because guns took our parents
Guns took the children

We are missing all the dead
And we are fearing for the living
So much knowledge to be giving
This situation isn’t a joke no kidding
So put the guns down
Put the violence away
Sleep through the night
So we can see another day
Lord I pray
