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.
