There aint no gun
That ever killed another
There aint no knife
That ever took a life
Aint no bomb
That tore his town apart
Aint no grenade
That blew her legs clean off
It's not the tools at his disposal
That see man come undone
It's the violence in his eyes
And the darkness in his heart.

Great piece. Without the interaction with man, the weapons remain inanimate and harmless.
Exactly, I tried to work 'inanimate' into the piece somewhere but it works better without being so obvious.
It worked great and I picked up easy enough.
Very good write and so true, it is always the person behind the weapon who is the killer.
