Howdy folks! ♥
I think this poem speaks well for itself. ♥
"Behind the Gun"
(image pending)
Guns are just objects all on their own;
They know not whether to oppose or condone.
They have no mind to think, judge, or rate.
Hence, blaming them rests with a human trait.
Humans can't accept accountability,
Because the human ego defies humility.
So anything we can, we humans like to blame
Because our ego can't accept feeling any shame.
So when a drunk driver gets behind the wheel,
Gets into a crash and another's life does steal,
It must be the car's fault, such an awful deed,
So banning of cars should then be decreed?
Bombs put themselves together and detonate;
Humans play no role in causing such a fate.
Vehicles drive themselves, plow into a crowd;
Such awful things, why are they allowed!?
Now let's address the topic of the dreadful gun,
Such heinous crimes they have all ALONE done.
First they snatch bullets, in the chamber pop,
And then, the trigger pulling we humans cannot stop!
Guns have such evil minds, how they love to kill!
Humans are so helpless against a gun's will!
Is it any wonder why humans want to confiscate
All these evil guns, consumed of such hate?
If all this seems ridiculous, then made is the point
That humans shift the blame, objects with, anoint.
Meanwhile, the human ego is preserved and protected
From accountability and blame can be rejected.
When humans face the fact our ego is at fault,
And learn to subdue it, only then we will halt
What's causing and behind many problems we face,
Thus we learn the true enemy of the human race.
Ego rebukes blame because ego's always right;
Excuses it supplies to feel not contrite.
Ego serves the self only, thrives on deception,
Paints fake as real, a believable perception.
Ego is demanding, will lie and deceive
To get what it wants; will steal to retrieve.
When the ego is denied what the ego seeks,
With belligerence and force, ego then speaks.
Ego condones dishonesty, exploits the human traits
Of the humans' darker side that humility negates.
Ego is unyielding, promotes a narrow mind,
Sees only for itself; for others it is blind.
When ego's given the upper hand, is allowed control,
It's vile tendencies infect the host's heart and soul
And so allows one to host, promote, and perpetuate
All of humans' darkest traits, the vileness of hate.
Since so many humans have their ego in control,
It should be no surprise we are reaping the toll.
Guns aren't doing the killing, handing us our fate;
It's the human ego condoning the vileness of hate.
Only when we humans wake up and realise,
Humility is needed to remove the disguise,
So we can see our ego in its true light
And for Love instead of hate, we can then fight.
💗 Have a blessed day! 💗
