Words You Say Poem by George Carpow

Verse 1:
My friend, recall your mother's words:
A word spoken's past recalling.
Speech is silver, silence's gold.
The adadge, daddy had been talking

You grew up, what's about now?
All have faded in your head
There is no much sense in pesky sounds -
Your tongue dangles just like a hung rag

Bridge:
Do you remember? Do you remember?

Chorus:
Shut up, you're off!
Your back is on the earth
You have a power dearth
Take off!

Look down, it's abyss
You're falling with a hiss
Your way is in the mist
Dismissed!

Post-chorus:
Rely
On words you say this life
Say: 'lie
Is not in words of mine'

Be mute
When tongue must not be used
You would
In case you won't abuse

Bridge:
Shut up! Man, you have to shut up!

Verse 2:
You've lost yourself at roadside
Just thinking out loud cause
Your thoughts are in the mind's sight
But stays behind in crazy yaws.

The word can heal, the word can kill
A moment for birdie's takeoff
The choice is made, so foot the bill
Be in the high or spring in very trough

Bridge:
Chorus:
Post-chorus:
