Quatrain of Not Proud

Not Proud - be quiet

Whenever you talk out loud,
your thoughts, which are
carved into word
noises, are lost in
space,

If you think without speaking,
your thoughts remain hidden,
and do not go out
and cause
disgrace.

Be it summum bonum just to
benevolently mull ideas quietly
in your head, rather
than speak out
loud,

Sound carries unknowingly into
the nether world, eventually
it will reach God and
you may not be
proud.
