Be Fair And Square With Others Poem by Hebert Logerie

Sometimes, you must be just and fair
To your worst enemies, in order
To garner respect, and compassion.
The enemies of your worst enemies
Can eventually affect your best interests.
Respect your signatures on the contracts.
Flip-flopping is a sign of instability and a lack
Of efficiency, intelligence, fairness, and consistency.
Be square and just to yourself and to others,
And you will reap major benefits and rewards.
If you're hostile, obnoxious, or, and nasty to others,
Be ready to face the consequences of your inadequacies.
Being stupid is not a good argument that will disqualify
You for the death penalty, however, your ignorance
Can serve you as a form of anesthesia. You'll experience
A painless agony, and quick death; dead people don't feel pain.
