Some things are better left unsaid
Some words are best not spoke out loud:
A curse upon the newly dead
False fire in a close-packed crowd
An insult where a calmer phrase
Might have allayed the flames of wrath,
Unmerited excessive praise
That leads one off the harder path,
A lie that in the hearers ears
Seems plausible and so deceives
And plays upon the darkest fears,
A spiteful lashing out that cleaves
A love from love; and worse than these
What you just said with dreadful ease.
