Shots in the Dark

Shots ring out in the night
guns have become this cities blight.
Our children are dying in the street
killed just for the shoes on their feet.

Cities are held hostage by these guns
something surely has to be done.
Body totals keep on mounting
30 murders and still counting.

In our streets rages a war
all the killings we deplore.
What has the world become
settle your fights with a gun?

Our patience is growing tired
as another weapon gets fired.
We will never be able to rest
streets have turned into the wild west.

As we lay another wreath
people stay armed to the teeth.
We cannot stay this course
strict gun laws need to be enforced.

To indifferance our shoulders we shrug
our world is controlled by these thugs.
One day I hope to see
a world that is totally gun free.
