The Tongue

The tongue is a dangerous and powerful weapon. It spits out dung and exposes bhang dealers. Its color red is conspicuous and attractive;oblivious of its nature. The tongue is like a fire,it sets the entire course of our existence with the fire that comes from hell itself. Human beings can tame and have all other creatures tamed but on the flipside has ever been able to tame the tongue. It is evil and uncontrollable, full of deadly poison. We use it to give thanks to ours Lord our father and also to curse other people who are created in the likeness of God. words of thanksgiving cursing pour out from the same mouth. No spring of water pours out sweet and bitter water from the same opening, similarly let's refrain from speaking evil at all times and all costs.
