*These Things Always Come Back*
If an eagle hovers above your roof
Do not chase it with stones
It will always come back
If you let your brood wander free
If a cobra slither through your fence
Do not kill it with sticks
It will always come back
If you leave the bushes unweeded
If a beautiful damsel saunters into your yard
Do not fight her with words
She will one day return to ruin your home
If the lust in you is left untended
