Gotta ban guns. Gotta ban
knives. Gotta ban sticks. They all
take lives. Gotta ban bats. Gotta
ban rocks. Gotta ban lasers and tasers that shock.
Gotta ban pepper spray. Gotta ban stones. They go
with the sticks and break all your bones. Gotta ban
weights you can smash on a head gotta ban
pillows that suffocate dead gotta ban
chainsaws and hacksaws – the mess! –
gotta ban teeth they can bite through
your flesh gotta ban radios you
throw in a tub gotta ban
razors and golf tees and
clubs. Gotta ban
spoons they can scoop out
your eyes. Gotta ban sharp things
like spears and steeples. Gotta ban
sex as sex makes people who –
kill people with guns
and knives.
