Like most creations
I was born from thought
From need unto design
From creativity was I wrought
To ease their toil and labor
I came from human need
Never could’ve imagined
My role in an evil deed
For once created I lie here
Sometimes in a musty case
Or belted in a holster
Sometimes I start a race
Sometime in my history
Like Cain and Abel of old
I was forced to commit a murder
Hefted like a rock in passion so bold
Was not asked for my opinion
Nor given any choice
As I’m an inanimate object
God never granted me a voice
No way to wander nor explore
I cannot I choose my owner
Sometimes I stand for the law
And other times for a stoner
The liberals think I embody evil
But Constitution grants a right you see
Those would be owners want a choice
Just a chance to take or leave me
And so I lie here until I’m taken up
No actions made when not in hand
Some say that if I was unattainable
All would be far safer in this land
Some wonder if I were unmade
Beaten down from sword to plow
That violence would be of the past
And peace could be ushered in now
But though I am this lowly thing
And my thoughts are just my own
I wonder at the shortsightedness
That history’s always shown
For some, they always follow
Intelligent thoughts so far away
In breezes of popular thought
Their white flags wave and sway
Blaming all on unfeeling metal
As if we could choose our use
They plot to keep us from the sane
And in so doing tighten the noose
You see they’ve never been correct
It’s not at all about what I condone
It’s always been about a human’s heart
I assure you I’ve never acted alone
So when you next see those tears
The hot stains on victim’s face
Don’t be fooled that it’s my fault
Nobody does evil like the human race
