Offensive Talk - keep your mouth shut

I know you live in fear of what
you might say, this has
become a cultural
rule of
thumb,

Everywhere you go someone might
hear an offensive word,
you don't want
to look
dumb.

In a world where we brag about
or intellectual freedom,
or knowledge
we throw
around,

It is very confusing to hold our
tongue, but if we don't,
our hassle in life
can easily
compound.
