A Gun

A gun,

Those kind you just put in the holster by your side,

Not a machine gun,

Not no rifle,

Just a small hand pistol

In the world of torches and swords

Such a strange thing,

So bizarre,

Only one,

One owner,

From the world of greed and war,

Threw that door he went,

Right into this world,

Gun-free,

Until he arrived

Bow and arrows,

Sword,

Warhammer,

Dagger,

Long sword,

Axe,

Spear,

Weapons in the world of torches and swords,

No gun on the list,

No G for gun

Too deadly,

Too loud,

So loud,

Way too loud,

One shoot,

Dead,

Always by his side,

Five bullets,

Ready to be fired,

To take a life

Why a gun,

They ask,

Too loud

Never a reply,

Just him walking away,

That gun by his side,

In its leather holster,

Waiting to strike
