Do Not Speak

Do Not Speak

A Poem by CalvinnTay
"

Be careful with the words your choose

"
Do not speak of the value of life when you have taken none
Do not speak of your empty life when you have not lived
Do not speak of your plans and dreams when you have not worked
Do not speak of your sorrows as if you had no joy
Do not speak of your sufferings when you fail to see your blessings
Do no speak of your sins when you have not been judge by God
Do not speak of who I am when you fail to be yourself
Do not speak your beliefs that you are not willing to die for
Do not speak of your past as if you will have not future
Do not speak of your power as though I have none
But despite my warnings, you still speak
Your venomous mouth spits words that make blades dull by comparison
I cast your words to the barren lands so that they do no more harm
I stripped you of your rights to exist in my life
I no longer require your services
Of what little you had to offer me
Here are my final parting words
Whatever you want to say to me
Keep to yourself and do not speak to me

Your writing always has such a powerful message behind it! I have to agree with your poem. Some people's words are so hypocrotic. This poem has a neat style and like I said a great message.
