Shake off the Dust

 

For those who seek personal aggrandizement at your expense

Shake off the dust from under your feet and walk away

 

For those who smile at your face then cheat you

Shake off the dust from under your feet and walk away

 

For those who befriend you and then stab you in the back

Shake off the dust from under your feet and walk away

 

For those who imprison your mind and soul

Shake off the dust from under your feet and walk away

 

For those who envy you and insult you

Shake off the dust from under your feet and walk away

 

For those who offend your dignity and denigrate you

Shake off the dust from under your feet and walk away

 

For the selfish and the self centered

Shake off the dust from under your feet and walk away

 

When they slap you in the face and spit on you

Stand firm and don't walk away
