If I Carried A Gun

If I carried a gun I wonder would people run, Maybe though, if just for fun Perhaps, I wouldn't hate everyone. If I carried a rifle No matter the size that's trifle, Would people think that them I am trying to stifle Maybe, I should also carry a Bible. If I carried a knife Would I be treated better in life, Could I live stress free without strife Perhaps, I could even impress my wife. If I carried a bomb Would my thoughts and my soul be calm, Maybe if secretly I just strapped it on Or would there still be a qualm. If I carried my pride As a man carries a weapon at his side, I would take a stronger stride And people would not run or hide. Randy L. McClave
