I Was Told

I was told a gun was just a tool Which could be used by and imbecile or fool, They said it was like the screwdriver, hammer and saw Or a shovel or an axe used in awe. The tools used by a carpenter The tools also used by a gardener, Used to design and to create and to build And also beauty and produce to yield. I was told that a tool was also a gun I wonder if that was just a pun, A gun cannot be used to build or to create It's a sign of fear and revenge and hate. When a a hammer or a chisel or a screwdriver is in someone's hand They're going to better the world or change the land, But, when a gun is in someone's eye Whether they are good or bad, someone will die.
