Poem
Mouth speaks from the abundance of the heart
Troubling thoughts spill out like smelly discharge 
You hear people say  ”I’d rather trust a stone than a person” 

Because people’s yes is no longer yes
Lies have become a norm for survival 
Trust evaporated because of the heat

The fire started with a spark from the fire lighter
A tiny thing that grew into flames
And devour everyone around it

Victims are groaning, crying for help 
But playing with fire seems normal 
And no one is trying to extinguish these monster flames

Neighbors don’t feel the pain anymore
They are so badly burnt that their conscience is none receptive 
To the concept of neighborly 

They overlooked the fire extinguisher
With a simple instructions to guide them through the fire
For it said, love your neighbor as you love yourself

Families are grieving a devastating loss 
Because it’s members are scattered all over
Like sheep without a Sheppard  

For they have endorsed the idea of supremacy
And those who’ve climbed high walls to survive the scorching heat 
Pushed their fellow brothers and sisters down to burn because of rivalry 

Competing against one another. Why?
For they’ve overlooked a fire extinguisher with a simple instruction
Guard your tongue against sowing divisions	

Relationships have huge cracks 
Many tripped and fell into the cracks
Their back bones fractured causing an outcry
 
Fountains full of tears are overflowing
Billions of hearts are burning 
Because of thoughtless speech 

Thoughtless speech contaminated by self-righteousness
For we have rejected clean tongue
Full of respect and dignity

This is all because we overlooked a fire extinguisher
A powerful proverb full of wisdom
Dearth and Life is in a power of tongue

Indeed tongue is like a fire lighter
It is small yet has the power to slay or heal
If not guarded against, it can cause unstoppable fires.
