Tighten the Tongue

Tighten the Tongue

James: Chapter 3.

Seems like tongues these days
Are errors from all their ways
Not deserving praise.

Due to tainted tongue
Many hands we will have wrung
Sad songs also sung.

Tongue terror was full
Not only that bunch of bull
Stubborn as a mule.

Our tongues tried to tame
Not give others all the blame
To us will do same.

Why incriminate
With tongue we should always wait
Also hesitate.

With tongue tell the truth
While never being uncouth
Had been in our youth.

We humiliate
With tongue is a common trait
Will have to sedate.
