Forever In Your Heart

Oh viperous tongues,
venomous words ,
do ye inflict,

Whose hearts are ice,
cold poisoness minds,
an inner conflict?

Cutting, dicing, slicing,
the heart, sharper than
a two edged sword,

For no God are ye,
no king, or queen,
nor lord,

Throw your daggers,
revel in your mind,
glorify your maddness,

When dark winds blow,
sorrow shall come upon you,
stealing your gladness,

Oh viperous tongues,
of heathen minds,
of selfish, jealous,
arrogant lament,

Woe unto you,
for days are numbered,
whose deads are cast in cement,

Oh viperous tongues,
cutting flesh, desiring death,
leaveing nothing but bone,

It is written, it is said,
he who is perfect,
without blemish,
may cast the first stone,

Who is right?
Who is wrong?
life is not a game,

Words are stones,
heavy arrows,
stabbing, shooting, blame,

Push them in a corner,
cast ye stones,
upon them until death,

Stand back,
blood stained hands,
gasping with breath,

One mans battle,
against and army,
Is justice served?

Look within your eye,
You cannot see,
so large is the beam?

Protruding,to where
you cannot view
the splinter in anothers?
does it seem?

When you sleep,
in quiet slumber,
nighmares haunt and taunt,

Blood stained,
a conscientious mind,
will always remember,

In the darkness,
of your minds,
a lowly voice crys out...

Punishers of souls...
torturers of hearts...

Murderers....

Murderers....

Then shall ye cry,
for death,
death shall not come,

For what has been spoken,
hearts broken,
cannot be undone,

Day and night,
you lay inside your mind,
your own torment,

Never to be released,
nor to escape,
peace you shall never find,

For words are stones,
you live forever,
within the hell,

of your own mind......


(Words are powerful, we should think before we speak!)

Open your eyes, open your mind, open your heart, let me come in and show you love.....~ARH

Angry words.

Much pain, much power.

I have been reading the bible lately, and was inspired!

How we as humans should think before we speak to eachother, and the consequences of words....

Words destroy nations, destroy love, or they can build bridges, encourage and inspire, a very powerful tool or weapon!

Thanks icebox, and Grover!
love and hugs
