Haughty Eyes & Love
Faulty assumptions
Mistaken unctions
The flesh does not have
one fruitful function
Passive aggression
A wicked regression
Saccharine veils reveal
pitch black obsessions
Take care, my child
when opinions rise
Scant understanding
is rooted in pride
Gossipers balk
suck and puke out
choice morsels
Lurking and spying
exposed in the shadows
Note spying or silence
The lash, then the quiet
A gnash, sugar coated
is subtle, but violence
The Father of lights
seeks peace and speaks life
A lover will pause
but a fool inflames strife
Take care, my dear
when such temperatures rear
That simmering anger
is rooted in fear
God is above
and speaks peace, like a dove,
"Better is open rebuke
than pretend hidden love"

Been a minute since I rolled out a slam poem. You know, half of Psalms is slam poetry. 🙃
Never be too proud to meekly embrace the grace of God's thunder. He gave his son for our freedom.
"Do not be burdened again to a yoke of slavery." Galatians 5:1
📖 Inspired by the following Proverbs:
🌻Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses. Proverbs 27:5-6
🌻He who answers a matter before he hears it—this is folly and disgrace to him. Proverbs 18:13
🌻Without wood a fire goes out; without a gossip a quarrel dies down. As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife. The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts. Proverbs 26:20-22
🌻A perverse person stirs up conflict, and gossip separates close friends. Proverbs 16:28
