The mouth, the tongue and the word

Your tongue, if it speaks the right, rightly is the greatest gain
Amidst goodly things, it stands alone, that by virtue you obtain
Since on words from mouth, for any gain or loss in life you depend
Its important that from careless slip in speech thyself defend
Its your speech that holds spell-bound the listening ear
And make those who have not heard, desire to hear
Adapt the words you speak, to various listeners’ state
That claims no higher virtue, and no more gain surely great
Speak out your speech, which once past dispute
None can utter any speech, which makes yours refute
Among others words, charming and seize the listeners’ sense
And these words make you wise of persons of spotless excellence
If you be mighty in word, of unforgetful mind, of fearless speech
It is hard for any hostile power, which can overreach
And for listening, swiftly the whole world will even gather round
When a weighty theme, such people of mighty speech propound
Those people who cannot utter even faultless words plain
Their tongues itch with more words, people`s ears to pain
Like flowers that add no fragrance to blooming garland bound
Are people who having acquired lore to others` ears cannot expound

An effort we should all strive for, indeed. Although being human, if we be of "fearless speech" we are bound to make mistakes sometimes. Actually, if you become fearless you will "itch" with the desire to speak plainly, no matter whether right or wrong. Always a problem... We demand perfection of others. Some of us demand perfection of ourselves. Most of us can't live up to it, but trying does make a life worth living.
Very Inspirational write. Cheers!
