Speaking in many tongues Is the way of man, as he is For the words, thru time Has always been, the way Man has to say, what is The speaking of tongues Is not the problem at hand Instead the problem is The way the tongue speaks For some, the only way seen Is the way they see For others, many ways to see What there is to be seen Who is right, who is wrong Neither should judge the other For as it is said, judge not Least ye be judged as well So speak as you speak, with wisdom Not the tongue, that shrieks with threat For man is never known to accept The shriek of such a tongue, in history It is ironic, in its own way All religions, no matter the name Speaks of peace and tranquility Yet some take this, that they speak Interpret their own words, in their Own way, to be used as they choose To condemn those, that choose not their Way, instead choose the way, as they see In the words of the tongue, given to them Maybe, kinder, if man had no tongue The words would not be, for him to use Then the words, could not condemn The one that chose different than him Since this is not so, man will use His tongue to lash out, with it bitterness Always seeking, something that is not there Always seeking more than is there Always in many tongues Allowing the tongue to have its way A sad epitet for such a lovely gift |
