Stand up for yourself fellow for if not you're out of luck <br />For if you let others use you they will drag you through the muck <br />And those who seek advantage of you go treat them with disdain <br />But from any sort of violence your best bet is refrain. <br /> <br />Stand up for yourself fellow as all soft touches lose out <br />And every soft touch is well known he's known for miles about <br />The soft touches come second best on them the ruthless prey <br />Stand up for yourself fellow and from those exploiters keep away. <br /> <br />Stand up for yourself fellow but to those who treat you fair <br />You treat those people fairly and share with those who share <br />But of the sneaky ruthless type my advice is beware <br />And you'll meet plenty of those type as they live everywhere. <br /> <br />Stand up for yourself fellow and in life you will succeed <br />And be fair with those who treat you fair and don't give way to greed <br />And earn your bread the honest way and practice take and give <br />For when all is said and all is done 'tis the only way to live.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stand-up-for-yourself-fellow/
