If someone instigates and intends to cause offence
Remember silence is your best defense
If someone deliberately tries to bring your reputation harm
Respect their opinion and just keep calm
It is for them to solve their issues you cannot resolve
If they continue futile affront you simply absolve
If someone tells you how you are getting things wrong
Remember free advice is available for a song
If someone insists on doing your thinking for you
Respect their effort yet keep your distance too
It is for them to understand how to fit in your shoes
Your problems are unique to you they may have no clues
If someone believes they know more than you ever did
Remember knowledge is a slippery path so easy to skid
If someone feels superior on the basis of who they know
Respect their self-worth each one will reap what they sow
It is for them to mature and take their supremacy in stride
You can continue to exhibit your low-profile humble side
