I opened my mouth
To safeguard dignity
And I barked like a mad dog
I lost whatever dignity was left
My words had no meaning
Senseless was my speech
I kept silence to the best I could
And spoke a few words with patience
I gained my dignity
My words, precious like pearls
Every word with sense and respect
Very nice. One should mind his words while speaking so that it would hurt no one. A nice message. Short and simple. Thanks for sharing.

To keep silence is better than remarks now a day. Dear Abdulrazak, you have very nicely inscribed this in your poem 'Silence' which is didactic in nature. Thank u very much.10
