Pretentious Tone

If the link is weak
You know the chain won't be strong
If the table is bare,
Don't make it look like we're having a feast
When you're hugging the most
Don't cry that you have the least
When your greed becomes a creed
Then it becomes your religion
Don't tell me I'll fail
When I'm yet to try
If you tell me a lie
Don't disguise it as the truth!
If you're going to cheat
Don't make it look like you're fair
If you think you're just
Let others be the judge.
