Be Silent, But Benevolent

Better to keep quiet
And observe the events
Than prove to be an idiot
By entering into arguments,
When mind is kept in diet
Come not foolish sentiments,
Flow of love makes face glow,
Know to love, tell hatred 'no'
Show mercy to those below,
Happy living is an art
Which one must learn,
Life is really damn short
Which none can again earn,
When you, for good, depart
World's heart, that must burn!
