Occupied

The occupied

Never negotiate 
With the conquering invaders
He will think 
You are pathetic and ask for more.
He will respect you
If you refuse him
And have contempt
If you give way.
If he built a house in your garden
 Is constructed on your land
Eventually, it will be yours
You sign no contract
You gave no ground
In the end
The occupier leaves
Defeated 
By your steadfastness.
