Speak softly

Words said unwisely in anger,

Fiery in rage’s red,

Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.

Cannot be taken back

In the peace of tomorrow.

Shattered friendships, broken hearts,

Hold your tongue ‘fore it starts.

Debate and argument, the twin son of Janus.

One peaceful, one of anger.

The art of passionate speaking turns both ways.

So be careful what you say to a friend,

And so friend they’ll stay,

Until the end of the end of days.
