When things cut up rough <br />Don't waste a life, <br />It isn't tough <br />To use a knife, <br /> <br />It means you're weak <br />And sick inside, <br />A coward too, <br />No cause for pride: <br /> <br />Why not just throw <br />That knife away <br />And live to see <br />Another day? <br /> <br />That would be brave <br />And cause no grief - <br />Death is so long <br />And life so brief.<br /><br />John Thorkild Ellison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/knife-crime/
