I’m your eraser,
Use me wisely,
Once you’ve used me,
Something’s taken away. . .
Something that can’t be put back;

All the violence in this world,
Can be ridden of,
Ridden of by me

Use me wisely,
And think before you act.

Consequences you may never want to see.
Horrifying conflicts,
Caused by me.
I’m your Eraser,
Use me wisely,
Because I may be your
Demise . . .
