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"
