Tame Teal Tongue

Tears slide down from ebony eyes Burgundy broken heart burnt fried Wounded by words like stones that fly Stunting self esteem killing pink pride You speak kindly to strangers though You even greet plants finely and they grow Yet you blindly hurt the ancestors soul With your desire to let the truth be told It’s not what you say but how you do Everyone in life at times has been a fool No one lives life without a mistake or two And only God Christ can judge not you Let your tongue be a poem for the lord Be it firm or soft but not a silver sword Inspire powerful energy and prayer indeed Winning bees with words sweet like honey Tongues that teach are tongues that lead One to reflect inspect and digest wisdom speak One can not expect an infant who has no teeth To chew the thickest stew of spiritual meat So kindly feed the needy
