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.
