this tongue of mine,

it wanted to say some

pretty awful and ugly things

plain as day, 

trying to spit it out to those ears

to hear, but, like stuttered words,

nothing came out exact

four times, I tried, I really did try to get

it out, and four times,

I was made to stop and think,

two wrongs don’t make

a right

hard-headed not to stop and listen,

needing help, he gave me the help to get

it right

finally I did  think it right,

but it wasn’t until four times, thereafter,

I accepted his help to get it right

maybe the person on the other side

was just standing, but I doubt it,

to fuel the fire, one must jump in,

thinking twice, I jumped out

maybe that person didn’t see me

holding the sign for the words,

peace, but then again, he had to see

it, ‘cause I wave it in it’s true color

in my heart I saw the sign and in

that moment I was the bigger

person standing and reading off

the true words of peace

maybe that’s why the person stuttered,

after seeing me toss out some things not

needed

I guess, I never needed that kind of

something to make me fall short of my

blessing, especially when everything

that I needed was already being supplied
