The Wrath of Man

James 1:19-21

Everyone swiftly hear, but slow to speak,
The wrath of man is not what you seek;
It does not work for the righteous God,
Your wrath is mixed with all that is flawed;
So isolate and block from your filthiness,
Throw away of all your rude naughtiness;
Humbly receive the embedded Holy Word,
That saves your soul as it cleanses inward.
Often we are swift to speak before we hear,
A perfect opportunity for Satan to appear;
Because Lucifer controls hatred and anger,
He's thrilled when you start getting vulgar;
For he controls the wrath that is within,
That is lurking inside with all of your sin;
It becomes stronger without your notice,
And actually it can make you quite vicious;
Before realizing the Scriptures are boring,
Even to the point of God being deploring;
Rest assured of hope for you to survive,
Ignore temptation of the wrath to thrive.
