Two or three pounds of steel

Two or three pounds of steel

Will react to what is a man’s will

And I know our forefathers

Gave us that right

 For in there times this gun may save their life

For each round of gun pouter that you use

Might be a life that a baby will lose

To many times we have use this steel

Is it your right to pull but do we have to kill?

For what your car or money our fathers write

But know that this steel will take someone’s life

 

PART 2

If you are brave and strong

You would really thing pass the way of this gun

There should be more love that might say

That these things I cannot take with me

No human life should pay

two or pounds of steel.

i like your thoughts. don't be so anxious to get them out there though. you will do a lot better if you think about making your thoughts flow together so that people don't have to find the flow for you, and you do it yourself. Keep on working..don't stop! sometimes it takes me a couple hours to get something the way i need it, before putting it up. please don't stop though, because we need more thinkers like you around. your style appeals to me and i am looking forward to seeing more of your stuff. WELCOME!!! geezer.
