"He who flies into a rage always makes a bad landing."
HEART CONTENT

When the tongue is used as a whip
Through toxic words that rage
The heart is revealed from those lips,
And the venom's released from its cage.
From out of the mouth the heart speaks,
No pretense can be hidden with masks,
Each word that is written or spoken,
Brings the man's character to task.
Before God all must give account,
For every word or deed that is done,
The judgment and sentence amounts
To the fruit of the words reaped by man.
The tongue has power of life and death,
And those who love it will reap the fruit
Whatever's written, whatever's spoken,
Will crush the heart with bitter roots.
Words have a way of exposing
What is inside the heart of a man
If it is God he is really believing
Or if he is just a plastic "Christian".
How true and I have found myself doing those rash things, especially when someone cuts me off or is inconsiderate by their actions. I have to berate myself afterwards for being such an explosive ass. Great write that hit home with me.

Wow...that hurt... a powerful write that I must remember to keep a watch over my mouth. Blessings, Holly
I rarely comment on poem referring to God. I will this time because you hit hit the nail on the head with the term "plastic christian" I feel this is a meaningful reality of our day. Good write.
Funny but it is the tongue that can hurt or heal. It is so important for one to think before they open their mouth to let words out for once they are out they can't go back. Thank you for sharing Cynthia another great write.
Cynthia you stated this perfectly I pray I am not looked at as Plastic Christian, thank you for your kindness, and your reviews

The tongue is the mightiest of swords and it sure is for they can pierce the tender and strong heart. Well done and well written. Wise and honest write. Love, Bonnie
