Before ...

you wage war

with your' tongue

and see history repeated

you will see pointing fingers

, your own if you look closely

, three pointed back at you

, for every one you point 

at others 

For no matter what the issue

settle it before the sun goes down

If you have a grievance

go to the elders

and talk it out with your brother

before them

then go home

and settle

lest you wake to a bad dream

of your' own imaginning

Do not repeat

Do not gossip

Do not slander your neighbour

.
