Speak Not

Examine thy own life Before thou examine other's life We are blind to our own dirty deeds But we have countless eyes on other's deeds Speak not of others, if thou have nothing nice to speak of For God doesn't like for us to demean and scoff Therefore do not be hasty with thy speech For if thy rend something special it will be hard to stitch Speak not of good and cast thou eyes sideways For it's a sign of hypocrisy and evil ways And God's blessing to thee will transfer fourfold to others For he didn't give the power of speech to harm our brothers Speak not if it's for foolish things Waste not thou speech for nonsensical things Do not give foolishness free rein But allow wisdom and understanding to reign Speak thy words carefully That thou may live peacefully Each word thou uttered is thy responsibility Whether thou speak nonsense or sensibly
