Poem
Control Your Tongue We mix words then throw ourselves into the flames At first glance it's but a vapor then to proceed with a mere whisper A clause to complain to get upset again won't you help me my friend Control your tongue in the midnight hour through barrowed pews We look inside having every bit to realize the disguise A word spoken in the dark has come to the fullest of light Never relent to ever give up on the fight You may have to use duct tape for heaven's sake A sorrowful mystery has been soon discovered Is it any wonder we have to much time on our hands Hope you will understand the flight of an eagle soaring in the wind A new discovery to tell you where you need to begin again We use our tongues to start a bar room fight Each of us gets lost in the sauce at the edge of the night Let's reach inside to find the grand design of a caged barbaric premise With fire we can egnite the flame of passion with the tongue The lonely cowboy summons his cattle to come home Silence falters the beckoning cry for freedoms call An angelic wish to pause for a kiss this should sweeten the soul It maybe well hung in the state of fun still control the tongue At funerals let's use it to stay wise & pause to reflect upon the deceased In the battle field a soldier has a choice to use it on his knees Many jails are filled up with people that let loose when they should have melt It sets on fire those that haven't tamed it's control or desire Let's embrace love when choosing words fresh out of the midnight air Gene Simmons from Kiss will use it but that's just entertainment Control your tongue through every facet of life amidst all strife
