Too Quick

Too quick to speak 
Too quick to judge 
Just a little nick
Just a soft nudge
And you will reek 
With your heightened urge 

You heed no advice 
You heed not restraint 
Rude shock and surprise 
Unknown to any saint
Aims at you to suffice
To make your strength faint

All because you refrain 
To be upright and to respect 
And you could still avert the pain 
If you would pause and reflect 
And be whole after being slain
And have your purpose resurrect

For God advises love and service 
To both He and fellow men 
That ye may find solace 
In Him and among brethren 
That you may end you chase
And live on earth as in heaven
