The hands that build Can also pull down. The hands that approve Can also condemn. The hands that love Can also hate. The hands that respect Can also abuse. The hands that heal Can also hurt. The hands that accept Can also eliminate. The hands that defend Can also deny. The hands that protect Can also violate. The hands that hold Can also cage. The hands that give Can also steal. The hands that can be true Can also be deceptive. The hands that create Can also destroy The hands that appreciate Can also belittle. The hands that honor Can also shame. The hands that struggle Can also push-over. The hands that save Can also abandon. The hands that are steady Can also shake so violently. The hands that hate Can also hate again. Therefore, expect, believe, confide, hope, depend on, entrust and rely upon nothing. Written by MLK
