Please Put The Gun Down
Please put the gun down
I'm begging you
Unload the bullets from that nuisance
Place it down
And I'll hold you
This can't be the way you go out
Your death sentence wasn't meant to be mandated by your hand or a trigger
Life and fate have things in store for you
A shower of powder doesn't need to be what buries you six feet under
You need a lifeline or someone to save you?
I'm no superman or super hero by any means
But I'll put on a cape, catch you,
And hold you
Please put the gun down
I'm begging you
You may have reached your end point
But if you shoot that gun
Our youth will all be gone
I know people can be cruel
And the words they have hurt you with don't have a return policy
However, neither can their lives be restored
No amount of tears
On their pillows
From their parents and loved ones can bring them back
Another mass shooting isn't what we need
I know adrenaline has taken you over
But don't bring that deadly weapon into the four walls
Where we are supposed to grow
And show compassion
To avoid all the vigils
To avoid thoughts and prayer tweets
And hashtags that read rest in peace
All you gotta do is put it down
Please put the gun down
I'm begging you
Bullets don't pick and choose who to target
Guns aren't supposed to discriminate
Your job is to protect the people, all of us
But somehow you feel threatened by melanin
From head to toe you are filled with rage
Stop the prejudice and hate
Stop killing off innocent people because of their race
If you are suppose to be a worker of justice
Then what justice is there in slaughtering away children and teens from their parents?
You say you shot them out of self defense
It's unfortunate that you bigotry cops get away without a criminal offense
All this death and blood wouldn't. be splattered up and down the roads
If you just thought for a minute
And put your gun down
