Speak no evil

Hear no evil; speak less so
The devil hears everything you know
What is the very best way to go?
Say nothing that isn't necessary; so
Speak no evil as onward you go
For each and every word we speak
Is written up in heaven: mark my word
Angels hear and understand
Know the heart; see what's planned
Their duty it is to take it all down
When you seek your eternal crown
Remember all those words; their sound
You will hear them spoken back to you 
Will you cringe before your Lord?
Will you wish you hadn't uttered?
Wish you could sink into the ground?
Too late by then my friend
By then it will be near the end...

"This is the first lesson ye should learn
There is so much good in the worst of us
And so much bad in the rest of us
It doesn't behoove any of us
To speak evil of the rest of us" 
E Cayce
