The Storm's Fury, Can Be Tempered
The Storm's Fury, Can Be Tempered
When you are overfilled with a deep hate,
grab not a gun but rather the good book,
Carefully read, give Proverbs a close look
think of love and mercy before its too late;
Why act in a foolish and hard hearted way,
with the temper of the moment in your heart,
here death is final, we get not another start
all must bow on the promised judgment day;
And cultivate love in your everyday travels,
soften every hurried step in your desires,
mercy is the best wood for your hottest fires
failure to heed this and life often unravels;
When you are overfilled with a deep hate,
grab not a gun but rather the good book,
Carefully read, give Proverbs a close look
think of love and mercy before its too late.
