Pass the Word Around...

Pass the word around…


If we don’t talk much,
Does it mean we don’t have a voice?
Or may be it is wiser 
To analyze and say only what needs to be said….

Once the words are unleashed
They cannot be taken back
That is why it is better to weigh 
And speak in quality…

If we don’t say much,
Does it mean we don’t hear anything?
Or may be it is wiser
To listen and say only what needs to be said…

Once the sentences are released
They deformed and spread around like wildfire
May be it is better to measure
And speak with equity…

If we don't talk much is it because we expect an other centered world where private thoughts are not marginal to another's sensitivity? Good poem, Aliekum salaam
