Listen carefully
And hear well
What one says
And that also
What one says not
What may click
One knows not
You may not hear again
What you earlier heard not
Weigh your words
So that they don't hurt
Bruises that you cause
With your mouth
Are your debts
To be repaid
With full interest
Do something good
Or do nothing
If your actions
Make a heart heavy
You conscience becomes
At the least, doubly heavy
Good deeds remain
Deeply etched
In collective memory
Generations shall remember
What good you did
Which shall be there to seeFor years, decades and may be centuries many!
