An Unruly Member

	"An Unruly Member"
	Written: by Tom Wright
	1998
	
	From man's tongue
	Flows both Honey of the Hive
	And the sting of Bee's;
	Many go about
	Telling half truth's, tickling ears,
	And casting stones;
	The tongue,
	Is not the problem per se,
	But a symptom of the problem;
	Using self diagnosis,
	Many make attempts to Bandage
	(Or control) the tongue,
	Oblivious to the fact
	That the real need
	Is a transplant; (Change of heart)
