People Not Guns
To the editor:
A fellow killed his younger brother.
He killed him with a rock.
A boy killed his nation’s enemy.
He killed him with a rock.
One death was good, but the other not.
Yet no one blamed the rock.
A family while hunting killed a deer.
They killed it with a gun.
A crazy person killed a student.
He killed her with a gun.
One death was good, but the other not.
No one should blame the gun.
People are to blame for the killing.
They are responsible.
Society and teachers must hold
People responsible.
Parents show your children how to act
And be responsible.
There is good and evil in the world.
Condemn evil; choose good.
