Shut Up Sometime

Shut Up Sometime

Some people talk too much
never shut up
and never listen

Words like rain continue to fall from their lips
a door that can't be closed
and a wooden idol that can't be heard

Shut up sometime
make the world a better place
and stop tuning out knowledge

Listen to the words of your love
shut your trap
and free the peace

Thanks, I am glad you like. I have learn over the years to just shut up and free the peace, but some people just keep on talking, bottle up peace, and free wrath instead. Lol
