One Of Prudence

Be careful with your words she told me we should think before we do write Be careful with the words you send in to be posted on a literary site Be careful with what you do publish her advice comes from better sense For what does seem right to some people to others may cause some offence The advice comes from one of prudence one with the experience of time on her side Loved and respected as a sagess her reputation is known far and wide Be careful with your words she warned many intolerant people out there Your ideas on life they may not like of that you ought to feel aware So many good writers imprisoned or murdered the truth can be hurtful 'tis said Had they been more careful with their words they may now be living not dead Be careful with your words she told me some with their lives for their words pay Some people cannot bear criticism and react in the most violent way One might say she is one of prudence the years have left her looking gray One possessed of an abundance of wisdom and I do heed what she has to say.
