The Creature Never Tamed -James 3:8-
This poem was inspired by James 3:8, enjoy!
Two wise men
Decide to gather round
A fire in a kin
When one's mouth makes a hissing sound
He bragged about his fame
In the land where he was from
For every creature is tamed
Wherever he shall come
"I have tamed a fish before;
When I went out to sea
Now I can change the ocean floor
So it now belongs to me
I have tamed a diving hawk
Who, like my mind, is of great speed
I have made the parrot talk
Now the air belongs to me
And I have tamed the beastly lion
Who conquers all around
Every creature shall be spied on
Now that I'm the king of ground"
"Your feats do take away my breath--
But I know a creature that controls more
It can cause both life and death
It can rock the universe's core
But only I know it's name;
It's of neither north nor south
I'm afraid you'll never tame
What's called the demon in your mouth"
