Say Sweet Sincere Statement

One may easily Criticize against another; And say something sour Even to a new stranger. Severe sentence May he judge at first glance; Many mistakes he sees, Attacking at any given chance. Wise man says Some sort of a reminder; Though nobody's perfect, Judge not the book by its cover. Before you state Something on the air; Better think not only twice But ten times over. Don't be too proud To stand taller and bigger; Nor say that you know everything, Instead, think others as wiser. Hard-hitting declaration Turns lamb into a tiger; While soft-spoken opinion Cools down the fire of anger. Positive praises Mirror man's meekness; Negative notes and critical comments Make him dumb and speechless. Speak easing expression With truth and honesty; Smile and fondly say A sweet statement with sincerity.
