Another bullet fired,
Another person dead,
A teenager in a coffin,
A hole is in his head.

A young man pulled the trigger,
And made a young man die,
A mother can’t stop crying,
All she asks is why?

Why do people shoot each other?
What fuels their rage and hate?
More newspaper headlines,
Of more lives gone to waste.

What do they get when they pull a trigger?
A gangster reputation,
But its simply isn’t worth,
A punished life of incarceration.

When will people learn,
That guns can only harm and kill?
People please, don’t use guns,
Lets help this world to heal.
