Can Guns Really Kill People?


The mouth of the metal monster

the maw of the morbid mother

the giver of gold or gall

picking out the particular person

plucking out precious people

maker of more monopolies

foundation of flowing fountains

Both blood and bonds

The protector yet predator

I hold her here in my hands

she, the sole silver savior, or a sweet release

The mocking murderer of mortal souls
