When there’s nothing to say,
Tell not a lie,
For ’tis better to be silent
Than sway men with deceit…

When there’s nothing to say,
Write something down,
For sometimes, the pen
Knows what the mouth can’t say…

When there’s nothing to say,
Listen to music,
Let the notes speak to you
Perhaps you’ll rhyme to the rhythm.

When there’s nothing to say,
You need not say anything
Most times, our actions
Speak louder than our words…

When there’s nothing to say,
Pray to God Almighty,
For He hears our unspoken words,
And sees what we’ve not thought of…
