Wielding a gun

Is so much fun?

Everyone under the sun

Scared, they run;

Once it’s done,

Shun the gun

And run…

No, it was not your son

Running a marathon

So, run!

Thanks a ton

For buying a gun,

With sheer abandon

You spared none,

Killed everyone,

See that bloodstained ribbon,

No pardon,

Three, two, one

The countdown has begun

Now, don't run,

Face The Son

Thanks a ton

For buying a gun,

An intended pun,

Attention…

( The poem is a commentary on gun violence.)
