The sign say population

two thousand and one.

How many of them,

are carrying a gun?



I sit on this bench

in front of the ol'feed store.

Watching the people

walk back and forth.



I know all these people

and have all my life.

For me and my family

each of them would fight.



Here comes Miss Henry

she always goes at a run,

But if you looked in her purse

you'd find a loaded gun.



Here comes the Mayor

Mr. James Coats

Check his vest pocket

you'll find a loaded Colt



Here comes Mrs Johnston

she teaches 5th grade.

She won't carry a gun

but she is always afraid.



Here comes the brothers

John,Billy and Wade

You know they have guns

from the bulge their clothes make



For the Amish girls that were killed

and for kids killed in schools across the land

For the four murdered on a Fl. highway

we have to take a stand.



It may not be the answer

and may not be Gods way

But arm yourself now

for you may not get a chance

TO PRAY............
