Mouth Betrays
Have you ever met serial "slipper,
makes one uncomfortable with the slip
of his tongue; it is so embarrassing.
For someone it's a slur, no more a quip.
Why people betrayed by their mouths with slip?
To stop this none discovered medicine.
People say between two to six words per
second with one's talk that's irrelevant.
Using wrong word creates embarrassment
cause "reveals secret desire forbidden
by society or self", Studies say.
Unconscious wishes win, what kept hidden.
Before mind goes to censor mode, hidden
thought blurts, can't resist to slips, studies say.
