The Peacenik gun
Blasts from far away,
Designed to ricochet,
The Peacenik gun is error-proof:
Which is to say all doubts can be removed -
‘It was an accident!’
The Peacnik gun
Fires lies and disingenuity,
Muddies, slimes and blurs -
Best handled by trained snipers without compassion
The Pecenik gun Is Good For Your Defence.
The Peacenik gun, by its very nature,
Spouts hate,
But no-one’s figured out the recoil -
Which is tremendous.
The Peacenik gun in the wrong hands
(Say a mass-murderer and his minions)
Recoils very, very slowly.
This is a Good Thing for Peaceniks,
Peace Activists, people with morality,
But a Bad Thing
For Those Who Only Understand Force.
Praise the Peacenik gun!
One end fires Hate!
The other end delivers Love!
This is about a gun designed to kill Peaceniks ‘accidentally’, but really it’s a metaphor for a mindset of violence.
The recoil from hate is very powerful, and ultimately people of morality get sickened by killing.
