We learned, as youth growing up.
If you can't say nothing nice about anyone.
Then speak nothing at all.

But then again, you must speak up.
Even if feelings are involved.
Oh, they be hurt.
They will be upset.

Some with bad breath.
Need to be aware.
Aware that they fogging up the air.

Then again, you can be quiet and breath it in.

Some with under arms issues.
Oh, we know they must love the smell.
If we must be the alert control warning them.
Unless, you are one of them.

We get twisted messages within our lives.
That has us questioning things before our very eyes.

A closed mouth don't get fed.
Then when some speak up with truth.
Many of us cut them down.
Saying, they need to get a job.
As, if it's easy for anyone and everyone.

Then again, many just doesn't try.

We stay silent when folks have food around their mouth.
Why?
That alone needs addressing to keep them from embarassment.
It's like not telling your mother or father.

Then again, if you're afraid.
Take a chance anyway.
Like those with crust around their eyes.

We pretend in church.
Like we hadn't sin that week.
Get upset with ministers that preach truth to the weak.
A good minister will admit even during the course of the week.
He wasn't totally perfect.

Then again, even they pretend.

Why?
Why go through the trouble of telling kids there's no Santa Claus?
When they grow up?
They realize exactly the people buying presents for the house.

Then again, some people hates to be not honored.
