Striking Another Human Being Is Wrong Poem by Randy Johnson

Some people try to solve their problems by fighting.
They are angry and their tempers are igniting.
But striking another human being is wrong.
Fighting people isn't the right way to be strong.
You wouldn't want someone to solve a problem by hitting you.
Wouldn't finding a non violent solution be a better thing to do?
Problems can be solved by talking things out.
It's better to talk even if you have to shout.
Fisticuffs gets you nothing but black eyes, wounds and the loss of teeth.
We are human beings, not savages; that is my belief.
But it is alright to fight in self defense.
Fighting this way is the only fighting that makes sense.
If you're tempted to start a fight with someone, please think twice.
You could get sent to the hospital or to jail and that wouldn't be nice.
