Get the guns off the street

Elliot J Bush 1983 (United States)



Get the guns off the street,
Innocent children can't afford to eat,
No clothes or socks on thier feet,
Get the guns off the street,

Children shouldn't hear the words RETREAT!!!
RUN HIDE FIGHT,
This is not the normal life!!!

The Children are our future,
There shouldn't be a slaughter,
These shootings are too much,
Children should worry about whats for lunch!
Not about will they see tomorrow!!
The whole world cries in sorrow.

Send your thoughts and prayers in the sky,
It doesn't help the ones who didn't survive,
Tattered and torn from the normality,
This is not how it's supposed to be,
We have been too accepting of shooting sprees.

Get the guns off the street,
This doesn't have to end like this,
These politicians don't give a shit,
The media just keeps getting rich (bitch!!!)

The 2nd amendment is the right to bare arms,
To protect your home and keep your family safe.

Not to execute your mental instabilities,
That's not keeping no one safe!!!

Get the guns off the street,
Let's tell congress to get off thier feet,
Let your voices be heard,
Be the voice of the voiceless,

Let's take back our world!!!

Evolution, revolution no conclusion its just words!!

Get the guns off the street!!!
