Guns don’t kill people
People kill people
People with guns kill people
People for fun kill people
People with psychotic dispositions kill people
People with the wrong mental composition kill people
People abandoned by their family, who left for Miami, because of their insanity kill people
People who rape eight year old boys, hurt themselves with sex toys, and hate the sound of their voice kill people
People who buy assault rifles and walk down the street with them kill people
People whose doctors confirmed their illness but refuse to treat them kill people
People who get pushed down stairs kill people
People who get easily scared kill people
People whose parents tried but always lied kill people
People whose parents died but never cried kill people
People who got thrown in jail for doing drugs kill people
People who were given guns and told they’re thugs kill people
People who hopelessly tried to find love kill people
People who try to speak with their god above kill people
People who failed out of school because they were told it was cool and then found themselves with no job, no car, no house, and no money kill people
People who nobody cared about because nobody had a doubt that it was just a phase but suddenly they had no parents, no brothers, no sisters, no friends kill people
People who talk with a lisp and a stutter and never laugh back kill people
People who always whisper and mutter and never gossip back kill people
People who always figured they’d be a hero, but when they find out they aren’t, they become the villain kill people
People who always figured they were zero, and when it’s confirmed they are, they want others to feel like them kill people
People who smile every day kill people
People who know what to say kill people
People who just want to play kill people
People who are tortured for being gay kill people
People who fall in love and then have their hearts broken kill people
People whose friends run away when they have their arms open kill people
People with anxiety at Virginia Tech kill people
People with depression at Columbine kill people
People whose lives fall apart at Texas University kill people
People whose problems go ignored at Newtown kill people
We put guns in the hands of psychopaths
And we wonder why people kill people.
