Words are wasted on those who do not listen

Love is wasted on those whose hearts are cold

Tears are wasted on those who do not see

Hate is wasted on those who do not care

Ink is wasted on paper that won’t be read

Laughter is wasted on those who don’t smile

Complaints are wasted on those who are filled with joy

And compliments are wasted on me, who can’t tell between truth and lie.
