Tips To Avoid Tongue-Slips


Talk not too much
Exercise proper control
Silence if you clutch
Calm will be your soul
Speech contains hitch
Stop it if peace is your goal
Use words with great care
Muse before views you share
Produce news that no scare
Self-control is surely possible
The results of which are super
Even though God is invisible
Praying to Him is proper
In life to escape from trouble
Always pray as it is cheaper.

M V VENKATARAMAN

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
