Knowing when to shut your mouth
Is not an easy thing.
Sometimes folks don’t want to hear
The insights you can bring.
There are times it’s better that
Opinions stay inside,
Even when you are convinced
Your view is justified.
So next time you are itching to
Point out someone’s mistake,
Take a breath or count to ten
And keep your thoughts opaque.
Often nothing’s gained
And good intentions can confuse.
By opening your mouth
There might be quite a bit to lose.
