sometimes words just come up and out like vomit.
Aftermath
All the guns grew arms
All the the guns grew hands
All the guns loaded themselves
As the people all were banned
And the AK's laid around
Assualting rifles in a row
Waiting for the trigger
To start the shooting show
Not a thought was had
Not a word was said
No brain developed
No guns were good or bad
But the bows and the arrows
Communicated through their need
For one without the other
A useless instrument, indeed
As the wind caressed the strings
Blowing across the bows
The feathers in the arrows
Heard the song of kindred souls
And back in time they went
The weapons, tools, of humanity
Where a stone became a killer
In the hands of a jealous sibling, We
For we are the motive
And we are the tools
We are the trigger
Sadly, we are the fools.
