The witness box

 

When you steal

and nobody is watching,

Remember You are there

as the judge and police.

 

When you tell a lie,

And all believe you with an ‘aye’,

Remember You are there

standing mute with a cold sigh.

 

When you are angry at your enemy,

And find the cause in your foe,

Remember You are there

looking at the enemy within.

 

There will be a day

when this You in you

will come forward

and make you stand

in the witness box

to turn witness against yourself.

 

Don’t meet in the court as enemies,

Meet You in you

before it’s too late

and die as your own enemy.
