no man can tame the tongue

a source of flame, of chaos
unbridled, unchanging
no man can tame the tongue
the residence of evil
a life set ablaze
a worthy name destroyed
chaos is its mother
hell its native home
no man can tame the tongue
needing to remain guarded
walling off its opportunities
to offer up its bile
