The voice inside of us
Has so much to say
But it has to be filtered
So it doesn’t offend
Go ahead and be honest
be rash and blurt it out
You will find it doesn’t work
Despite what they champion
Tactfully, using grace
We must filter our thoughts
Nothing unusual about it
It’s An acquired skill
There is that rare person
Who takes no offense
To anything said
But savors it all
Each word as a precious jewel
Every thought as a diamond
Words, though hard and sharp
Are beautiful to examine
The Rational Element
