LENCEVIO TICMESDO

When venomous fangs parade
Take it not as a charade
For a bite will follow
One which can make high strength, weakness swallow

II
Attitudes are like pod seeds
Some crack in their dry beads
To give an idea of their nature
Before a harvest brings into force its structure
So take a cue
…from its hue

III
Many muscles are monsters unparalleled
Who forget not hurts from even sweet days you quarreled
And might pile hatred
Which can desecrate the sacred
So speeches of early behaviours
…must be noted as they may be acting as saviours

IV
Nothing must make a sane hand, on an unarmed body, lift
For him to lift it
…means he has thought it
For him to think it
…means you will turn “it”
The “it” which he will brutally hit
So make a swift shift
The moment a hand lifts on you

V
For it will graduate into a slap
A slap will graduate into a blow
A blow will graduate into punches
And punches will graduate into wrestling
Reducing you to meat for vultures in passing
Just to enjoy an ego’s clap
Never sink that low
Note those anger and sly launches
And flee
Flee for your family, friends and you
…before a fatal blow lands on you
