Be Silent

Be silent If you don't know the full story, Don't be violent By giving out lies and a false glory, Be silent If you feel unable to control your emotions, Then repent Never trust in false notions Be silent In the heat of any rage, Don't vent Put, your anger away in a cage. Be silent If your words can eradicate, Loosing a friendship or relationship is hellbent Remember the fate. Be silent If you are unsure about the topic or lack knowledge, Go to where good sense has went Common sense should be your college. Be silent When someone is sharing their struggles and vulnerability, Be a prince Then use and show your humility. Be silent If you can't talk without yelling, Don't show a discontent Don't ever be part of a failing. Be silent If your silence can save your bonds, Give your consent, Sometimes it's best if no one responds. Be silent If speaking will only serve to boost your ego or seek validation, Be just valiant In any type of relation. Be silent If your words can betray someone's trust, Be gallant Don't, let your iron turn into rust. Stay silent Sometimes at all cost, Remember, before actions are sent What you need and love will be lost. Randy L. McClave
