Train Yourself

Train yourself—

That murder is not trite.

Not to you.

Always know it isn't right.

You will see lots of murders

In movies and on TV,

And they will saturate the novels

To the point they won't let you be.

Don't take these things lightly.

You must resist.

Every time you see a murder,

Make it something you detest.

Don't treat the murder lightly,

Even though it's just in a book.

Know that when writing,

The writer used it as a hook.

Each time, mark the moment

With sorrow in your heart.

Make sure that endorsing murder
Is something of which you want no part.
