418 Do Not Bear False Witness

418.

Do Not Bear False Witness



Sometimes we speak evil of others

Some are harmful, we cannot reverse

When the damage is done

And there's nowhere to run

Our conscience calls us to retract

Those wicked words to those we detract

So be careful we must when speaking!
