Fifteen and a Half (Eric Miyeni)

Never hurt somebody when you can be kind,
Never be kind to somebody when you should hurt
Be generous with the correct dose of the right
punishment or reward


Don't, don't don't only act to please, it does not suit you.
Never smile when looking at people and things you
despise
Never laugh when in your book the joke told is not
funny
Never jump up acting all excited when all you feel is
boredom

Never, never, never be false.
It's not necessary


When the man dying is the object of your hatred, don't
cry
Just like you mustn't laugh when you are dying to cry
Don't cry when your whole body is aching for you to
laugh

Don't, don't, don't be someone other than yourself, it isunbecoming


Never say sixteen when you should say fifteen and a half
Never lie when you should tell the truth
But never be truthful when you should wait for the right
moment for truth


Never, never lie or ill-time the truth, doing this
has a funny way of biting back
Never lick ass when you should be fighting hard
Never ever fight when you should be licking that ass


Be yourself always and pray
That 'yourself' is the best of you
that you can give to the world
Never change who you are to suit others.


But never, never, never stick to what's horrible about who you are.
