~~~

Speak not in anger

For words can cut deep

And what we do sow

We certainly reap

~~~

Let love be your guide

In all that you say

Mindful of the cost

That your soul will pay

~~~

A moment to pause

Old scars time to heal

Let go of the pain

The anger you feel

~~~

Great gift that it is

Given this proud voice

But how it is used

Is always our choice

~~~

What we vocalize

We disseminate

And nothing good comes

From speaking with hate

~~~

So, guard your words well

Think long what you say

For it will like spell

Return in some way

~~~

Let what breath exhales

Be not something spurned

Speak only with love

Enjoy karma earned

~~~
