BEWARE OF THOSE

Beware of those who are bitter,
For they will never allow you
To enjoy your fruit.

Beware of those who criticize you
When you deserve some praise for an achievement,
For they secretly desire to be worshiped.

Beware of those who are needy or stingy,
For they would rather sting you
Than give you anything.

Beware of those who are always hungry,
For they will feed you to the wolves
Just to get paid.

Beware of those who speak negatively
About everything and everybody,
For a negative person will never say
A positive thing about you.

Beware of those who are bored
And not passionate about life,
For they will bore you with reasons
For not living.

Beware of those who are too focused with
Polishing and beautifying their outer shells,
For they lack true substance to understand
That genuine beauty is in the heart
That resides inside.

Beware of those who step in the path of your dreams,
For they only dream to have the ability
To take half your steps.

Beware of those who steer you away
From your heart’s true happiness,
For it would make them happy to see you
Steer yourself next to them,
Sitting with both your hearts bitter.

Those who are critical don’t like being criticized,
And those who are insensitive have a deficiency in their senses.

And finally,
Beware of those who tell you to BEWARE.
They are too aware of everything –
And live alone, scared.

Poetry by Suzy Kassem

Beware of those who are bitter, for they will never allow you to enjoy your fruit.

If I be waspish, best beware my sting.

But thus do I counsel you, my friends: distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful!

Beware of those who are bored and not passionate about life, for they will bore you with reasons for not living.

Trust no one in whom the desire to punish is strong

I never trust people with no appetite. It's like they're always holding something back on you.

Be suspicious of what you want.

Be wary of people who stab you in the back repeatedly & then behave like they're the ones who have been wronged. It's best to avoid them.

THE UNFORGIVEN

Tell me if you've ever had to deal with these kinds of people:

The kind who take and don't give.
The kind to whom you give and give,
And they keep asking.
The kind to whom you give and give and they say you gave nothing.
The kind whom have never offered anything,
But act like they're the ones providing
EVERYTHING.

The kind you give and give,
But take more than you can give.
And when they have already taken everything,
They get mad at you when you say you have
Nothing more to give.

The unforgiving,
The misgiving,
Wastefully living -
And selfishly driven.
The rat that never gives back,
Yet is so quick to attack -
Because they think the word
TAKING
Seriously means
GIVING.

If you are not selfish you will not be altruistic, remember.

I’m going to have to be real careful not to accept any gifts from them in the future because they will think they have bought my respect.

Be extremely stingy in making promises because you must be generous in keeping them.

He 'as had a stinger.
