"sins of the Tongue"

Spiritual Narrative

(James Chapter 3)
As for me, having been, the Reptilian’s Pavilion
Has lost it’s appeal, earth’s abundant wonder, of worldly thrill
By source of truth now, Agape is revealing to me how
To build each day, Godly house of sacred  Flock, upon the Rock

Master reptilian, created a hell’s pavilion
As the brain of a mind's swell, the mind became in earth, hell’s well
A master of illusion, that some called, Satan’s protrusion
But only mind illusion, this parasitic protrusion

Al is boasting and toasting, some believe, the earth is roasting
Borrowing from debt, saying that humanity should not fret
Dwelling in this naught, that America has forever bought
Drinking in illusion large as the sea, none will be made free

(Psalms 104:26)
Steady now as she goes, Truth from all four winds of heaven blows
Love"s sure rudder of a ship, shall keep many a tongue from slip
The Agape was first, by which, natural tongues bless and not curse
From strife into life, tongues, shall put the earth's curse into reverse

(Isaiah 27:1)
Leviathan, piercing serpent, a dragon in multitudes
Stirring humanity's feuds, as world has seen, Hitler’s Nazi 
Very little member, boast this tongue, fascism of great change
Reigns, setting on fire, the very course of earth peaceful nature

As a beast, humanity has feasts, feeding on Hitler’s yeast
Images of evil yeast, come from serpent mind’s natural beast
But restoring a ship, requires a dip, life’s ocean of love
Wisdom from above, restores by Love, at least, the beast, be tame

John, which contest was this for? It was back at Xmas time, huh? This one is a little for me like reading the Old Testament! Are you sure you are not a preacher man? And yes, I am one who believes the earth is roasting. All that snow is just a "coverup" Good message! Luv, Andrea

Moses, You are so right about love being the only way to build upon the rock of truths that Christ left for us. The serpent beguiles today justs as he did in the Garden of Eden. Mortal distractions take their toll on man's soul. Only through wisdom of love can we eradicate mundane desires and be led back to our Heavenly Father. How nice it is to think with you this evening. Thank you for these wise words. Happy New Year. God be with you, always. Lovingly, Dane Ann

I always try to remember, John, St. Paul's most important Gospel about love. I do believe that Love is "all" that matters. "Love conquers all" Awesome write! I wish you good luck in Constance's contest! Peace and love, Audreyl
