Misunderstandings sometimes come
When some words are misused.
Maybe, what they know are shams
Maybe, the word was over-used.
Some loves to chat and speak
But what they know is weak.
Meanings change
As people change.
You should be using your dictionary
So that you will say the words correctly.
Offended people may be lessened.
Broken relationships may be lessened.
Do not misuse,
Never over-use
The real meaning must not change
So that it may hinder possible rage.
Yes, talk and tell
So that the world be well
But be careful of what you say
So that your honor may stay.
Use your dictionary
To write poetry.
Use your dictionary
To add some words in your vocabulary.
Never lose the meaning.
Never stop in seeing.
Always stay in hearing.
Always give cheering.
Do not misspell.
You words should be well.
Say the words well.
Forbid your hell.
