Guard Your Tongue
A little tool yet a powerful force
forges unity and strength
Yet creates a great divide
Elusive as a sunbeam
It slithers and slips
A challenge to bridle a thorn in the hip
Such a great motivator
Promoting confidence here
But chaos there
A weapon of mass destruction
This wee little spark
Sends mountains into raging fires
A double- edged sword
One side dripping with honey
The other the venom of a viper
Man who with a little rudder controls huge battleships
Will struggle eternally to bridle
this wee tool …..The tongue.
