Be Careful With Your Words

With words I put to paper and words that I say I hope I don't cause offence in any way And since some feel offended by some others truth In our usage of words we should not lack in ruth. Those with great power at their disposal I can't say I trust But I only condemn what I see as unjust And since I am not one who does like to pretend With my words I can't say of everyone I've made a friend. In my decades of rhyming I've penned heaps of stuff Though what I have written not quite good enough An amateur writer who did not make the grade Though few are successful in the wordsmith trade. Be careful with your words don't use them out of spite And be very careful with what you do write And with what you say or write all will not agree For we look at things one might say quite differently.
