Unruly
If ever there was a time
To be thrown into a pit of sublime
I would be on my way
But i can't, not today
I would rather think of malice and be unkind

Unruly Thoughts at Play
I sing my thoughts a lullaby
And beg them to be still
Unruly children full of play
They go against my will
Another game of hide and seek
Each one appears by turn
Through hours of this endless night
Like candles, my thoughts burn
I sing my thoughts a lullaby
In hopes that they will sleep
Alas, when one is drifting off
The other makes a

Unruly Movie-Goer
I saw a lad at the movie
He thought himself rather groovy
Laughing during sadness,
Growling during gladness
I thought he was rather goofy.
Then, halfway through the picture show
Everyone turned sour on him, though
He didn't seem to mind,
The crowd became unkind
And the usher said he must go.

That Unruly Evil Poisonous Member - James 3: 8
James chapter three and verse eight
this scripture pulls us up right hard
our tongue is described what is true
what can be done to help our guard
In Adam, we have inherited His sin
original sin as theologians call it
so we've no control over our tongue
depravity proves we're spiritually unfit
The tongue is full of evil desires
as satan draws us

Give Me the Unruly Child With Lots of Energy
Evilness has not reared his head in my world.
I know nothing of it, really, and do not pretend to.
The devilish ways of mischievous mites and sprites
Makes me happy. I love their keen confidence.
Give me an unruly child, with lots of energy.
I understand them, I love their enthusiasm.
I tap into their imagination; I thrive on

Unruly Stubbornness
unruly stubbornness
invades common sense
in times of weakness
during periods of mind
wondering
mind wondering episodes
lead back around to you
must remind myself to
cut this kind of thinking
of at the pass before it has
a chance to spread throughout
the mind once again
difficult at time in which
the emotional guards have

An Unruly Member
"An Unruly Member"
Written: by Tom Wright
1998
From man's tongue
Flows both Honey of the Hive
And the sting of Bee's;
Many go about
Telling half truth's, tickling ears,
And casting stones;
The tongue,
Is not the problem per se,
But a symptom of the problem;
Using self diagnosis,
Many make attempts to Bandage
(Or control) the tongue,
Oblivious to the fact
That the real need
Is a transplant; (Change of

Unruly Pachyderm
That's not my elephant! as you can plainly see
My ethnic elephant eats spaghetti with such glee
This silly pachyderm won't eat one single bite
Says its written in the elephant's bill of rights.
She wants to hang our with the second graders
I really think those darn kids must have paid her
My friend Ella gave her a sweet kiss
