Wise Or Foolish

Kind 
person
will think twice
before speaking
lest an unkind word should hurt another.

Wise person will think a half-dozen times
before texting
pictures to
young girl
once.

Smart
person
who values 
his privacy
will not share his secret thoughts foolishly.

Some Congressmen seem to leave their brains home
with families
and forget
they’re still
nerds!

Kind could be though of as passive. Wise could have been thought of as indecisive. Smart a paonoired. and congressmen thought of as some one who does not get that they work for the public. I like your poem.
