Dear Assassins game players:
Do you really mean to play a game called “Assassins?”
Please, change the name that has brought our country so much pain and shame.
Give the game a new name, like “Tag,” and don’t dishonor our flag.
Do you wonder why schools won’t affiliate with a game name that is about hate?
Try and reason why this game name and gun association are not good for our kind nation.
Try to remember in your heart and mind, Abraham, Martin, John and Bobby.
Try not to be a part of a careless and wrongful gun lobby.
Free your mind, and the rest will follow.
Don’t be so shallow in our wonderful country that is so hallowed.
Remember those who fought against wrong with all their might so we could wake up bright in the morning light.
Shine a light and lead a cheer for everything that’s right and dear.
Don’t call anyone bad names that might ignite a fight.
Have good fun, with cheering and dancing day and night.
Over 70% of school students feel unsafe and depressed.
Support each other, and your schools will be 100% impressed.
Shine a light and be a beacon for good.
Dance and cheer, with no fear.
Then sound an alarm to do both, with an oath, to “do no harm.”
Come on now, real game players, stay cool and true to your school with thoughts and prayers.
