A poem, reflecting on James 3

The words in a man’s heart are oft words he dare not speak
lest he make a world of enemies. Oft these words are tainted things
less profanity and more truth. Sometimes the words in a man’s heart
praise the One who laid the stars, and other times they curse the man of whom he is the seed. Though these things ought not be, they are. And men of many words must live in that reality, adding salt to what they voice and rebuke to secret words inside.
