We Roar and Rage

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We speak of causes, grand and fine,

Despising those who doubt

Without understanding the grace

Mankind can’t live without.

 

We rage and roar about the cause,

Calling skeptics to shame.

Those who chose to think differently

Are marked for scorn and blame.

 

However fine the words we speak

For the cause we applaud

They are but noise to those we chide,

Without merit or laud.

 

But words spoken with loving grace

Can impact so much more,

For hearts will listen to wise words

Without the snarl and roar.

 

Speak gently and with loving grace,

That your words may hold weight

For loving words hold more power

Than raging and debate.

 

1 Corinthians 13:1

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
