Guard your lips

They seek you here, they seek you there,
they have devices everywhere.
In the home watch how you talk,
in the park watch where you walk.
And when you're bowling in a hall,
or shopping in the latest mall,
do keep a guard upon your lips
so nothing ‘hateful' ever slips'.
The Bible is your strength and stay,
its teaching guides you every day
but other people might not care
about the things found written there.
They ‘take offence' at Godly law,
the Ten Commandments they ignore.
A holy life you dare not preach,
it's such old-fashioned stuff to teach.
And now, it seems, has come the time
when Bible credence is a crime.
You'll know that they don't like you much
when they can kick you into touch.
They're on your tweets, they're on your back,
they hope the courts give you the sack
for ‘tribal' taunts and ‘prejudice' -
who's ever seen a case like this?
So, Christian, watch the things you do
and ask the Lord to lead you through.

J Marks, Greerton
