guns don't ****

guns gather dust in the corner
of a peaceful
person's
home

that thing called
the second
amendment

it is a man's  right

to protect himself
against
the
tyranny
of governments
criminals
and
terrorists

those who would
take
away
your freedom
and
your life

the criminals
the terrorists
the governments

will
always
always
always

find a way
find a way
find a way

to get a gun
to get a gun
to get agun

to control you
to control you
to control you

and
strip  strip strip
you  you you
of
your your your
freedom freedom freedom

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

to steal from you
to
take
your
life
and the lives of  the children...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you take
all
the
guns
away
from
peaceful
law-abiding
citizens

then

only
only
only

criminals
c­riminals
criminals

terrorists

and

tyrann­ical governments

and yours?

the killing

will

never stop...

gun control

will never stop

the dying

as long as we have

human nature

we need

the kingdom of God

as long as

man

makes all the rules

he will call

all the shots

all the shots

all the shots

all the shots

all the shots

all the shots

God knows your pain
God knows your sorrow
When the crying
is over
God dries your tears
and then
I pray
He gives you
God Hugs.

God loves you.

He knows it all.
