your mouth wide open
inviting all and sundry 
gently they mosey
spiders ~ flies ~ are so nosey
at night keep your mouth shut tight

There are many who may take offense
At advice you may choose to dispense.
You won’t get in a rut
If you keep your mouth shut
So resentment won’t therefore commence.

For it’s best, when the moment presents,
That you keep yourself up on that fence;
Though if you’d been consulted
None would be insulted
By offering up your two cents....

Opened my mouth, pure nonsense I spewed 
Eyebrows she raised, “Don’t mean to be rude"
Head-shake then a sigh 
“Are you freekin HIGH?"
“I prefer strangers dressed and NOT nude”

‘It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt’ - Mark Twain

What’s the point of ratting out
There’s nothing here to gain
They’ll make us a deal
Let’s hear their spiel
Sit pat it’s just a game

Don’t tell me you did it
I don’t want to hear
I still have principles
Though they’re not held dear

We’ll cop to a bargain
You’ll be out by next week
Just keep your mouth shut
I’m the one who should speak...

Common people
walk and eat, drive, sleep
unaware of the spirits around them
or the games played by fate
they grow, reproduce
sit in Church
wonder how to pray
but not for long

life instructions:
listen, obey, stay to yourself
if you congregate, police will disperse
don’t be seen as a problem
don’t be a nuisance
sit, do your work, and for God’s sake
keep your mouth shut....

When you've become true to his word, you've had enough
When you're really tired of evil, you can't keep your mouth shut
You know you're saved, when you Confess Christ to the world
You've got encouragement, when you want salvation for every boy and girl
You've got the Holy Spirit, when you feel shame
You have changed, when the person in the mirror isn't the same
I praise the Lord for helping me become true
Has He done the same for you...

She brought her alien sidekick to the cafeteria.
The rest of the sophomores gave them room.
Scooting out of the way, wondering what talents the sidekick had.
Just keep your mouth shut, she told the sidekick.
As long as they think you are an alien, the teachers will let you stay.
She had actually sprung her little sister from kindergarten.
Teachers did not dare say anything about an alien visiting.
It would not have been politically correct....

Keep your mouth shut. Count to ten and when your done start over again.
It only goes south in the end.
People will disappoint you time after time. Do you want some cheese with that whine?
It only goes south in the end.
Try to process. Get some rest and then put your resiliency to the test but it
will probably go south in the end.
Seek out kindness, search for the good, avoid those places where your misunderstood.
It might not go south in the end....

"She looks just like you!"
 They say, and I beam!
But they're saying much more 
than their saying seems…
For I'd never say to her
 what I constantly say to me…
("You don't measure up, 
you can't be enough!
You're ugly, you're stupid,
 just keep your mouth shut!")
My mind in shock, 
my heart so hurt,
To even think about speaking 
so harshly to her.
So, a good lesson learned, 
to see me in her eyes…
I will love myself more 
and not criticize.
