Thoughtless speech, and thoughtless lines
Reflect the ills of all mankind.
A bolt of lightning shatters the night-
A quick stroke of death written in light.
Now out in the distance the downpour begins
No thought, no care in the crackling din.
Be careful now of what you will say-
Lest like a bolt from the blue you blow someone away.
Thoughtless speech, and thoughtless lines
Reflect the ills of all mankind.
Edward Landers
