Make damn sure

I have often heard
people on trial
for "Attempted Murder??"
why? i ask why?

as i say...
when you try to kill
make damn sure
THEY'RE DEAD

walking around
i hear "yeah, i almost died"
then i think...
someone's never read this poem

as i say...
when you try to kill
make damn sure
THEY'RE DEAD

sometimes i hear
"she's a cutter!"
"not a very good one,
isn't she still here??"

as i say...
when you try to kill
make damn sure
THEY'RE DEAD
