Never Rub Salt Into the Gash

Never rub salt into the gash, Making not bad things even worse; Say sweet inspiring lines instead That are found in the poet's verse. Never let difficult status Turn into harder condition; Nor allow the painful feeling To become damaged emotion. Do not ever accentuate The negative circumstances; Neither aggravate the problem, Nor intensify the cases. Let not the upset mind and heart Get more frustrated and angry; Allow them not to bring the love To oblivion of harmony. Never add harm to injury, Never hurt the wound, cut, or slash; Never neglect the shattered soul, Never rub salt into the gash.
