Kingdoms of Rhyme

(yeah, check it,

old school, dynamic flow,

listen)

Boast not yourself of tomorrow's gleam,

For you know not what today might stream.

Praise from others is the right rule,

Let not your own mouth play the fool.

(uh-huh) A stone is heavy,

and sand has its weight,

But a fool's wrath is heavier on the plate.

Wrath is cruel and anger a flood,

But who can stand before envy’s blood?

Open rebuke

is better today, Than love that hides and slips away.

Faithful are wounds from a friend that’s true,

But kisses of an enemy will ensue.

Ointment and perfume make the heart warm,

So does a friend’s counsel in any storm.

Your own friend, and father's,

forsake never, Better nearby neighbour than a far kin.

Iron sharpens iron, keeps it keen,

So does a friend in life's unseen.

As water reflects the face once seen,

The heart of man shows who He's been.

(that's right, iron sharpens

iron)

Open rebuke

is better today, Than love that hides

and slips away.

Faithful are wounds from a friend that’s true,

But kisses of an enemy

will ensue. (oh yeah,

kisses of an enemy)

Lord Jesus, You are the friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Thank You for guiding us toward paths of righteousness and peace.

Amen.

(amen, peace, walk in wisdom)
