Right To Weapons

From age to age men discover Their tools and weapons to survive Men draw and execute their plans And produce weapons or tools to make life easier for survival. These simple tools and weapons Are developed, improved, perfected Even extended to kill by the hundreds In wars, alliances and betrayals Sealed by creeds and vows of allegiance. And the right to weapons is taken As a human right to defend and protect life Guarded by the law of the land Mouthed and quoted by those who Ever want to hold on to this right. But enemies are defined by weapons Weapons corrupt the corrupt power And by weapons we can never be secure. _________________ December 28,2012 Following the debate on the right to weapons after the shooting of 20 small children and 7 adults in Connecticut, USA.
