1.
Before you can pass remarks
On someone not your own;
Check if you and your own people
Fit in your own remarks;
Think if you would comment on
Your own people the way you did to the other!
That will help you curb your tongue on
someone not your own.
This is sensible behaviour!
2.
Your words when bitter or better,
Your expressions when rude or soft,
Your actions when in anger or calm,
Your inner feelings when hot or cool,
Your animosity if clear or clandestine,
Displays what the true 'you' are;
no screen of love can hide your hatred.
People take in these different emotions
not to forget when you do.
3.
When you think you want to get close,
When you feel you want to know more,
When you believe the bonding is right,
When you want to be involved more,
And then, the actions and words demeaning,
you wonder why?
You ponder over whether it is the same
For all you know or is it just you!
Funny world needless to say.
4.
The real you is the real truth,
You may concur or disagree;
Who you are and what you are made of
Is purely a reflection of how and
What surroundings you were bred!
Your language and elegance gives you
away as a person; your attire least significant.
A tamed person is who is worth knowing;
all else falsity.
5.
Your actions and etiquette,
Your talks and behaviour,
Your way of holding yourself,
Your control over your emotions,
Shows how you were brought up;
Shows you as a person overall;
Shows your elegance or otherwise
Helps decide whether to know
You more or remain tacit after a point.
6.
When you are mocked and hurt,
When words are condescending,
When your views not valued much,
When you are treated subservient,
When others weigh supported more,
When likes and tastes of others
august as against yours, then, time
to realise your worth, guard your esteem than losing it.
