I think this argument is getting old now so, something needs to be done about that. But, that's just my opinion. (2018)

=========

Cold hearts have heated discussions—

words fly like flames hungry for the attentions from logs

dormant after being cut out of trees.

A single teardrop of rain goes unnoticed,

and quickly steam rises and it is forgotten.

Cold hearts are an oxymoron—

flesh is not cold.

Flesh is warm with life's blood pumping through

every vein and between pores.

But then how can any human ever

discount the lives of another,

pulling a trigger for no good reason

and take someone off the face of this earth,

with a single weapon?

Every human has a heart that beats

and hears the cries of others,

responding only with kindness—

don't blame them, how could you?

Those same humans with warm hearts then,

have only thrown hateful flames at those innocent,

and those not to blame.

They have only dried up the teardrops that fell,

from victim or survivor or successor,

and made everyone else forget about the disastrous outcome,

of a human with a gun.

It's not the guns that are bad.

It's the human.

Well said.

So, humans have weapons,

that pose no threat,

until those twisted hearts,

pull the trigger.
