Banning Books And Not Guns

Not one child has ever died from reading a book A child's life it has never took, They were created to open the imagination and the mind And new wonders and excitement for the child to find. The book gives the child the reason to read And great information to the soul and mind it will heed, And the book gives the child great mysteries and wonders to understand But, now those books are all being banned. Guns were designed for one purpose and that was to kill They were designed to end someone's belief and will, When you see a gun lying on any table You know immediately that taking a life it is ready and able. But, when you see a book on any table top You know reading it can create knowledge with the tendency for hate to stop, But, they want to stop the reading of those types of books anymore They do not believe in peace and contentment, they want war. The republicans now want to tell our children what to view What to read or to understand whether it be old or new, So, I say this to all fathers and mothers and daughters and sons The republicans happily ban books, but they won't ban guns.
