Intolerance, Our Downfall

Intolerance, Our Downfall Written: by Miracle man 8-10-2019 Hatred has its finger, On each trigger pull. Intolerance abounds, And man’s heart seems full. It’s true guns kill, But the heart is the cause. This will never be fixed, By enacting more laws. Proverbs 16:24 Pleasant words [are as] an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, And health to the bones.
