When you see the storm clouds coming,
When the truth of it is denied,
Do not struggle or ponder,
Set it all aside.
–
When the bad apple comes into view,
And they see you have them in mind,
Carefully climb out of the barrel.
And leave it all behind.
–
See the potholes coming.
Skirt quicksand as you go.
Know the pitfall for what it is,
Hold on tight to what you know.
–
When early signs of a festering appear,
Act without delay.
Recognise the ending.
Know when to walk away…
