In Life, When You Are Cornered Poem by Hebert Logerie

When you are cornered by the circumstances
Of life, remain calm and positive on the branches
If you fall, you will inevitably get injured more
So what you do is remain strong to the core
Take a very deep breath and go down slowly
To confront whatever will be around the tree
Be ready to fight like your life was in danger
Trust a few people and don't be afraid of a stranger
Or a foreigner, do not judge a book after a glance
At the cover. Reject nonsense, inaction and ignorance
Be strong, positive and different. Life is about struggling
About not giving up. As long as the heart is beating
And pumping blood properly, be ready to face the elements
Life is full of surprises, awards, rewards and emoluments
When you are cornered, roar if you must and be stentorian
Once out of the danger, be humble, classy and Aristotelian.
