Reason

Don’t talk with a reason 
For you must understand why should you 
Talk with a reason 
Did you understand and will you?
As it is bad to talk with a reason
No it is not necessary for you
Talking is good but with a reason 
Such as this is bad for you
As you would be in this position 
Of a worse side of you
It is, yes a bad habit 
It is, yes a horrific habit
It is, yes an awful habit
Who will be the victim?
And who will be the culprit?
No it is not tough to determine
But if you talk about a person 
In whose absence you talk
And you say a few bad things about the person
And the person knows not
So it is certainly a bad habit
Beware that backbiting is a dreadful act 
And a bad habit too
So don’t talk with a motive such as this.
