The Spoken Word Poem by Janice M Pickett

Spirit cannot be heard by an untrained ear
Wisdom comes from within
where the spirit dwells in harmony with wisdom

To be wise

one should share wisdom and educate through it
But the wise bite their tongues
For the foolish just scorn and refuse to hear

To speak out from the spirit will bring blessings
Words will only reach a few but they do reach some

Silence is for the educated in life matters
For they know the right time and place to speak

The foolish should remain silent
But being foolish they always think they know it all

and talk with forked tongues

Prayers should never be suppressed
This above all speech

should be

shouted loudly

for God to hear
