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

Style / type: 
Free verse
Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words: 
Was feeling a bit irritated trying to talk to someone who see the need to explain everything and acknowledge nothing as if I'm stupid a something when i wrote this piece. lol
Editing stage: 
Editing - polished draft

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
