Hold Your Tongue

Frustrating. Disgusting.

Pardon my tongue

For this is not the usual inspiring words I utter

Anger or dislike is another emotion we deal with as we are alive

I acknowledge it as happiness, love, and sadness.

Just one piece I would like to say

One can not live in peace with meddling tongues

Why can not people just mind their own business?

Or be a peacemaker instead?

There can never be peace

When there are people who think themselves as better than others

More righteous, who knows better, who knows it all.

Shame on you! You who never sinned and never quarrelled!

Who is so pure and true.

So easy to make judgments, gossips,

Think and speak ill of others?

Taking sides without hearing the other

Do you think heaven is at your side?

Karma or God’s judgment will be realized soon!

I hold my cursing and ill speaking tongue for I am not like you

There could have been a meek heart if there was an effort to ask,  listen and understand

I guess it is not right to expect others to think and behave like you do

Different does not mean you are better

May you find peace in each of your day

People who truly love and care

Aspire to bridge and not divide

Listens and desires not to foster anger

May you find peace in your days

You who never sinned, who never quarelled!
