Shut your mouth

It is so hard to hang on when the whole world is seeking to elbow you out

Slam you against the wall, trip you, and tell you to shut your mouth

They tell you to not even scream when they cut you

For that would mean they were bad men

You are cut, they say, only because you must be

And your blood they take from you now because it just makes sense

To

Don’t be tense

Be in suspense

Just be quiet

And shut your mouth.

What is wrong and what is right

Everyone seems to think they know

But what do they know

They just take the things as they go

As are fed to them

As they assail them

You too

So shut your mouth

What do you know

Clearly U Notice Things.
