If guns could sing

if guns could sing
they’d sing country and western
and pine for the bullets they held
then lost in the dark 
one rainy night
though warmth still clings 
to the grip
or the trigger itch on a Friday 
when you just got real paid
in the pool hall
with a head full 
of whiskey and sin
and righteous havoc to wreak
if guns could sing
they’d sing country and western
and sing us all to sleep
