Talk Less Poem by Sayeed Abubakar

Talk Less

Rating: 5.0


If you talk and your talk does not sound sweet
Like the songs of birds, remain silent then.
If you talk and your talk does not smell sweet
Like the fragrance of flowers, keep dumb then.

Words are like the bullets of guns, if they
Get out of mouth, you cannot bring them back,
They may hurt the hearts you love so dearly.
You will only repent uttering such words soon.

The foolish talk much; those who are wise have
Become dumb like the hills and the mountains

The foolish talk much; those who are wise have Become dumb like the hills and the mountains ///yeah; right you are, I think so; the wise expression on the meaningless talking; it's a didactic poem
