KEEP QUIET OR SPEAK OUT?

KEEP QUIET OR SPEAK OUT?


Some make a point as they speak;
Having made it, they go.
Some aimlessly rant on while
Their plain folly they show.

A few relevant words are
Better than a catarrh
Of meaningless blah- blah- blah
That does not take one far.

But it is sacrilege to
Be silent and speak not
When one needs to stick out and
Loud and clear speak a lot.

Lord, give me discretion to
Keep quiet or speak out,
As the need be, regardless
That hostile be the crowd.
