Think twice

Think twice...before you grab your holster
Think twice...before you press the trigger
See twice...before you shoot
Don't cut his life short
A child can be orphan
A wife, a hopeless widow
A mother can be lifeless forever
A sister, a disconsolate soul
A brother can switch from hope to anger
A taser can turn a killer

Think twice before you grab your holster

The power is in your heart
Not in your hands
The fear, in your mind
Your eyes are just its window
The threat is nowhere
Shut it down, Let it go!!

Think twice...before you grab your holster
Think twice...before you press the trigger
See twice...before you shoot
Don't cut his life short

He is your brother
You are his keeper!
A Peacemaker!

Think first...twice... before you steal a Future,
And left with... "where am I?"
