Don't bite the hand that smacks you down.
Instead persevere.
Hate breeds hate
in the world today.
And violence gives way to fear.
Be big, be strong and keep moving on.
There is no need to get angry.
When that hand tries to beat you down,
move on to find another way.
To try and fight back makes no sense.
It really just makes it worse.
They'll strike again
twice as hard.
Then you're left no better than
what you were at first.
Fighting back with vengeful rage
and striking hate
with forceful hate,
Really is no better than
Cutting your nose to spite your face.
