SILVER TONGUE

At first, you watched in awe Observing the impact of WORD Mountains moved The Earth groaned The Ocean Roared ...in silence It got old, quickly As your feet moved Darting from ear to ear Stirring up your brew Bringing boiling water ...to whistle Put your money Where your mouth is And so silver Dropped upon the table Of thirsty men ...to purchase A god without a name No notoriety to blame Deliverance and healing Of nobody from nowhere ...to sing Dead and gone Followers pinned down No one will rise When ink and pen resound ...twisted truth You gnawed the tongue With deeds of terror Making children bow To sowing your seed ...in gall The one place You couldn't touch In the process of Word's Natural death ...gives LIFE eternal Written by Trudy Schrader on 06-19-2024 Note: Six means: Marriage (spiritual)/Family (natural), Five means Ministry (spiritual)/Work (natural), and Four means Direction (Spiritual)/ Order (natural)
