Guns R Us

A gun with no bullets
is just a piece of steel
but
load some lead in the chamber
and now
the rod is a portable weapon
of bodily destruction

An efficient instrument
of deadly finality

This hate monster we feed
leaving a bloody carnage trail
throughout our conflict history
in our cowboy culture
where the gunslinger is glorified

Enhanced killing technology
with every weapons upgrade

Murder simplified
to be made more convenient
and coldly impersonal

Dispensed from a distance

The trigger of inhumanity
as death
gets compartmentalized
to a finger squeeze event
