The Golden Rule

When someone shows a weakness
That's when you know to pounce
Take from them what they have
No worries for someone else

If you don't take it, someone will
That's what you tell yourself
In order to move ahead in life
You must leave your feelings out

Pull the trigger and smile at them
Look straight into their eyes
Tell them that there is no risk
Don't worry that it's a lie

If they loose it all, well you got yours
So just do what you must do
It's not your fault that they're not smart
Or that they put their trust in you

It seems so easy to take from them
But you're really taking from yourself
There may come a time when you're in need
And the cat becomes the mouse

Just Give them what they need the most
And dont take what is not yours
Do what's right, like your mother said
And you will get that big reward

Offer to help if they're in need
And lend them a hand or two
For what you do unto others you will see
Others will do unto you
