WASTED WORDS

Make them sweet
For eventually you have to eat them
Make them few
For eventually you have to need them

Should you choose to use them
Just be brief
Should you choose to use them
Be clear

Like patience
Words are hard to summon
In moment of urgency
In the heat of an argument

Words are gems
Need not be wasted
Prune them like stems
For being succinct is appreciated
