Analysis of Guns



Guns, what are they for?
All they do is produce more gore
People are suffering
Because of a useless thing
Child safety locks won't do it
So we got to try harder to put an end to it
Columbine was brought
Because it was bought

Now the world may end
Because of this stupid trend
The world may never comprehend
How to put this to an end
I leave with one thing though
We really got to let this go
