"Please think before you shoot. Stop and look at me--your target: A member of the human group This is not the Olympics Not the time to take first place No quick draw-you'll get the short straw Please put away the mace No gold medal for legalized killers Go instead, play your video game thrillers You're intelligent; please learn, discern Don't fall into disgrace."
