POETRY for the LOVE of GOD

Book Cover & Preview Text
THE TONGUE I’m tired of having blood on my hand. I’ve got to get this thing under control. I saw it lift one man up high. The next one it cut to his very soul. It can be as a loosed cannon. It can destroy everything in its path. But it can also give good counsel. And help a man avoid Gods’ wrath. It confines one man to poverty. And brings another man wealth. It has changed the course of history. It carries the power of life or death. It makes one person, shout for joy. It can make another commit suicide. It inspires one man to greatness. For another it kills his pride. It causes hate to flourish. For some, it helps love to grow. It can render a beast into submission. It makes some men come and some men go! It has built many of cities. It’s making kingdoms to fall. It has made a little man great. And made the might into the small. It spews put a great agony. Even if I don’t want it to. The pain it causes wouldn’t be so lasting. If everything it spits out was true. It leads some deeper into darkness, While, bringing others into the light. It causes some to completely surrender. It makes some more determined to fight. It turns friends into murderers. And it changes a stranger into a friend. It must always be kept in check. For it has caused so many lives to end. I’ve seen it cause great divisions. It has placed some on one accord. I contend that it’s really dangerous, Unless it’s given totally unto the Lord.
