Downtown Fear

A gun is bought
A boy is taught
A boy is shot
With a gun that was bought
Why?


I can understand the attraction to guns or weapons what I don't understand is their use. The crimes that we hear of are so serious and most of the time include the use of firearms. Whatever happen to peace, love and understanding, listening, paying attention instead of paying respects? We need to stop and sit down together to try and come to terms with what we have in common and work towards correcting our wrongs and making our differences work for us. Sure it's easy to sit and write about it but it can be just as easy to get up and get together to talk about what we are writing. It's simple, we all try hard to get the things we want and need and right now we all need each other. Put down the guns and knives and what have you and chill, Relax and see what we can come up with to replace the guns with? Perhaps a pen or a paintbrush to show how we feel, a microphone to sing or say what we think, or a camera to shoot pictures to show what we see...there are so many better ways to show who you and what you are, where you're going, what you're doing with out using a gun. Peace, love and understanding be the rule of the day. Let the senseless killing stop. Pray for wars to end. Let children be children again.
