Be Responsible With Your Words

People of God
Let us be responsible
With what we speak
It's easy to accuse a person
Something you can't prove
That's irresponsibility
Don't accuse anyone
If anything you can't prove
Not even your enemies
And don't talk against 
Someone on their backs
Don't backbite anyone
When they don't know
What you're talking about
Don't destroy their reputation
Don't character assassinate them 
Even though they are considered your enemies 
That's why He said love your enemies 
Be responsible with your words 
A person who's irresponsible with his words
Is a person that is not worth one centavo of respect.
