Say Nothing

If you are not living your life...
What qualifies you as tour guide,
For those who do?
Those who have toiled in the trenches,
Without the benefit of assistance...
From those who only offer critique,
Spilled from motorized lips!

If you are not living your life...
Without sacrificing it.
Or knowing what that is like!
The best movement someone like you can do,
Is to shut up and walk away!
Say nothing!
It will be considered your best contribution.
