THE TONGUE

Here's one of my poems to inspire us to tame our tongues

As  mighty and fierce as the horses could be
It is controlled with a bit and griddle
As great as the sailing ships could be
Driven by fierce and uncontrollable winds
It is turned about with a small helm
Yet, as tiny as the human tongue could be
There has been no master yet
No, not yet in history
That could tame and control the tongue
A little member of the body
But it speaketh great things
It is known for its prophecies
How well it kindles fire
It has trodden the mighty to the ground
And yet has it lifted many
It acts as a pen and an eraser
It is full of evil and yet could speak of great and marvellous things
It curses men and blesses men too
This ought not to be
Howbeit when it is made subject under the Spirit of God
It becomes a great tool and a blessing for many generations .
