we be our own judges

when you are wrongly accused, 

when you feel unjustly judged,

don't lash back 

not immediately

stop, think, cool down

then act.

I assure you that you won't regret that moment of calm.

when your good will is ruined

when your gifts are mocked

when your tears flow in vain

don't blame

don't be ashamed

for everywhere there needs more people like us

give, and give, and give

and then

we give again.

we be our own judges

the hammer's held in our hands only

if slacking is what you wish today

then don't work

if breaking your back without pay is your desire

then don't stop

At the end of it all

nobody else goes into your mind

and tells you what you were
but your voice alone

as you heave 

your last breath.
