Nobody gives a damn about you <br />Until you pick up a gun or strap on a bomb <br />And kill someone with your version of kindness <br />Nobody gives a damn about you <br />Until you have a couple too many drinks <br />Get behind the wheel of your SUV <br />And kill someone with your version of having fun <br />Nobody gives a damn about you <br />Until you call someone a Honky or a Nigger <br />And kill someone with your version of the truth <br />Nobody gives a damn about you <br />Until you learn to give a damn about yourself<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-lesson-in-self-respect/
