Warning

If you put your hand 
On the ingratitude jaws of a lion 
You know well what would happen 
But out of jealousy when your friend 
Would change his or her mind 
And turn into an enemy 
Without knowing 
You lay your heart, bare  
Before it is too late  
Be friendly with your friends 
As you are with your enemies.
