The Tongue
The Tongue
Written: by Miracle Man

Has power to influence, good or bad,
not always creating feelings of rad.
Idle threats, we've intended as token,
bite us later, they can’t be unspoken.
Often, with harsh language, others we rape,
technology won't let one slip escape,
By guarding our tongue in each thing we say,
we'll not rue that moment some future day.
It betrays the intentions of each heart,
this tiny member is a huge mouth part.
James ch 3: 2 & 5
2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
5 even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
