* sweetly speak *
Find pleasant things to say
For have you ever noted
If unpleasantness you speak
How ugly you appear
As if brain directs muscles
To hideously reflect
The ugliness you express
Grow so unattractive and twisted
A being so unhandsome
Drowning such considered a good deed
Especially when set against
If joyfully you speak
This beauty of exclamation
Reflected positively in visage
If you put aside the harshness
Hardness of your words
Instead found something to praise
Not to constant denigrate
Every person whom you meet
Every place which you visit
How beautiful might you appear
How wondrous world grow
If you spoke and thought
In language temperate and sweet.
