Before you shoot to kill
Remember the drill
Look beyond the color of his skin
Remembering you are next of kin
Before you shoot him dead
Remember to use your head
First look him in the eye
Before you make him fry
Before you overreact
When catching him in the act
Remember that he's flesh and blood
Before you spill all of his blood
Before you start panicking
While he is bickering
Remember that he's a human being
Look beyond color and race STOP KILLING
