Common Mistakes
Often people do things that later they can see,
It would have been much better if they had let it be.
Sometimes people say things that others shouldn't hear.
Before putting mouth in motion the brain should be in gear.
Sometimes people want things they really can't afford,
But they buy it anyway instead of working toward,
Some preset goal they may have and really can't neglect,
But because they can't say NO they get it in the neck.
Sometimes we are they enemy that we must fight against.
It's good to learn some self control and gain some common sense.
Always do to others as you'd have them do to you,
And always speak the same to them as you'd have them speak to you.
If there's something that you know try not to repeat it.
Repetition is a shame to everyone who speaks it.
If there's something that you want save up till you can buy it.
Don't spend money you don't have, hear me well I've tried it.
Don't waste time treading water that's way above your head.
Listen well, remember these words that I have said.
