In Life, When You Are Cornered

When you are cornered by the circumstances Of life, remain calm and positive on the branches If you fall, you will inevitably get injured more So what you do is remain strong to the core Take a very deep breath and go down slowly To confront whatever will be around the tree Be ready to fight like your life was in danger Trust a few people and don't be afraid of a stranger Or a foreigner, do not judge a book after a glance At the cover. Reject nonsense, inaction and ignorance Be strong, positive and different. Life is about struggling About not giving up. As long as the heart is beating And pumping blood properly, be ready to face the elements Life is full of surprises, awards, rewards and emoluments When you are cornered, roar if you must and be stentorian Once out of the danger, be humble, classy and Aristotelian.
