Image for the poem No Way

No Way

No way there should be more guns than people

No way there should be
More guns than people

No way there should be
More guns than people

No way there should be
More guns than people

No way there should be
More guns than people

No way there should be
More guns than people

No way there should be
No way but we look away

No way  but we look away
And send them off to school

Send them into the fire
With armor of innocence
Shrapnel in soul

Wake up do nothing
To shelter them in your place

From my cold dead hands
He said

Now we live it every second of
Every day

Fury of anger
Aimed in the wrong direction

Should turn it
On themselves

Put in in our live breathing hands
Stop this senseless murder

Author's Note
There are more guns in the US than people. There are about 393 million privately owned firearms in the US, according to an estimate by the Switzerland-based Small Arms Survey – or in other words, 120 guns for every 100 Americans.
