WHAT POLICY MEANS
POLICY MEANS NO MORE THAN AN
ART,
IT IS TO HUMOUR THE CRAZY WHEN
SMART,
TO TICKLE THE SUSCEPTIBLE CHORD
IF POWERFUL,
TO SWIM ALONG THE STREAM WHEN
FORCEFUL.
POLICY IS TO INCREASE FRIENDS
AROUND,
TO DECREASE ENEMIES SURROUND,
TO BE NOT THE SAME BUT NOT
HYPOCRISY,
TO AGREE WITH STRONG EVEN AS
COURTESY.
POLICY IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF
DEALING,
TO HUMOUR TO KEEP AWAY THE
FEELING,
TO WIN AND GET THE CONFIDENCE
TRULY,
TO PENALIZE HARDLY BUT SLOWLY.
FOR THE SADNESS OF HEAVEN TO
WORRY,
FOR THE DEATH OF ENEMY TO BE
SORRY,
IT IS HOW TO WRITE TO THE
BELOVED,
HOW TO ANSWER WHOM YOU NOT
LOVED.
