Commodities

There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.   Luke 12:2-3

All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed by man, but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.   James 3:7-8 

pride blinds the eyes of those it fills,

creating illusions and deceptions,

turning brother against brother,

sister against sister,

breaking friendships and bonds,

destroying everything in its path;

words spoken in the darkness,

find their way into the light;

you choose your relationships like commodities,

something to hold on too when they are useful,

something to toss out like morning trash,

when they are not;

we are all filthy rags, we have all fallen short,

eventually we all fail, no matter how many

positive thoughts we fill our minds with,

no matter what fantasies we choose to live in,

no matter how much knowledge we think we know,

no matter what bold words our tongues spew forth;

in the end,

truth is all that survives.
