KEEP QUIET OR SPEAK OUT?

KEEP QUIET OR SPEAK OUT?


Some make a point as they speak;
Having made it they go.
Some keep on ranting needless,
As their folly they show.

A few relevant words are
Better than a cataarh
Of irrelevant blah blah
That hardly takes one far.

But it is sacrilege to
Keep quiet or mumble,
Few words when more are needed
To a knot untangle.

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