This is just my attempt at conveying my own thoughts
In no way are they presumptuous enough to declare them as the truth
Yet since it's how I honestly feel, I have no choice but to voice my opinion
For whatever it's worth I will always remain willing to learn from others
It's just how I myself happen to feel on the matter of gun rights in America
We must choose some faith and trust in others or a system of
Excessive regulations fines punishments and token rewards
We can pick either endless micromanagement by a technical manual
Or place confidence in the underlying spirit of our very own fellows
We may decide to walk into Wal Mart armed with AR-15s
Or substitute those arms with actual courage and faith in each other
That we'll be spared on that bright blue day shopping in the sun
So go ahead and accept a future where we get to keep all our guns
So long as you're willing to be strangled by endless red tape
Or we may adopt a future where we're all actually free to live unafraid
It all comes down to whether we're capable of placing our faith together
If any of it can be applied outside the framework of our own selves
Or if instead we keep every last drop to our own respective individualities
I think the right to bear arms represents cowardice and fear of others
We might even say it represents an inherent fear and mistrust of our own government
While walking unarmed into the daylight represents actual courage and trust
Which is it going to be, for all of us? There are plenty who wouldn't understand
That sticking by our selfishly perceived 2nd Amendment rights may get us a Big Gulp
If only we all knew that another option will get us endless pure water for free
Which is it going to be, America? A 32-Oz Big Gulp 3/4ths full of Ice
Or an infinite supply of pure sweet oxygen in the water of life?
We must choose, but remember that the choice we make is where our energy goes
We may continue placing our energy into a closed loop system of growing vicious terror
Or we may just let it all go and fall into the arms of a loving and often hostile world
We can use fake bravery to hold onto our precious misconceived right to bear arms
Or we may have actual courage and remain unafraid to walk into the lion's den
We must choose, but remember its our choice and all the ammo and firearms on Earth
Will never add up to even an infinitesimal fraction of what our true potential is worth.
