Deal in gold

a poem by R.A.Jacob

If speech is silver,

Than silence is gold,

Deal my heart,

Deal in gold.

Give gold out to the world,

Voice should not be uttered

Speech should not be heard,

Gold has greater worth.

Words of wisdom should be wrapped,

Kept up only for the wise,

Fools can't any way discern them,

Nor do they heed advice.

Greatest folly that man can do,

Is to advice a fool,

Hold your peace I tell you,

Whenever surrounded by fools.

Note: Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end.
