Looking over our shoulder as time passes by,
AK goes off and corpse scattered like peas,
Some really gone, some pretend to be gone,
Tears of loved ones flows until it is all dry,
As they sang a dirge lamenting the departures.

Why? Why cause so much pain?
Why defy our generation from the safety we deserve?
Allow our blood to flow freely through our vein.
Please, Please put the guns down, it was meant for those who protect and serve.

Our children needs to go to school,
We need to get to work without feeling like a target,
Don't we have the fundamental right for safety?
Instead we have to keep walking pass the crimson pools,
Pretending its a rainy day and praying for sunshine.

If you were to put the guns down,
Our countries will be a much better place.
So why not put the guns down and make our countries a better place?
If you were to put the guns down,
Then there will be less corpses lying around waiting to be discovered.

Don't shoot, just listen, guns down.
