Tongue Lashing
Positioned in order to hear
Tales of tall thought’s taunting
Lies move along the palate
Lips moving in silence
Sounds traveling into innocent ears
Moving to the soul of pure heart
Twisting and turning it’s valves
Cutting off it’s brain from power
Unable to speak only hear
Anger raging within yet, a calm look
Frozen in time unable to move
Insults with hurtful sounds
Fear created by a fool with words
Hark! A listener from afar
An Angel sent from heaven above
Speaking in silent tones only one can hear
Matthew 10:28
“ And fear not them which kill the body.
But are not able to kill the soul”
Their soul gently came to peace
While the bully was still speaking
This gentle soul let these words travel
Into one ear and out the other
Their pain had disappeared
