Do Not Speak

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.

Thank you! I am glad that another person shares the same view as mine. I will do my best to write poems and I hope to read some of your work soon.
