Peace Eludes
Peace eludes the twisted heart
Or callous soul,
Even when twists and callousness
Are aimed at avoiding pain,
Peace eludes the heart
Divided against itself
And the mouth with
A forked tongue
Will find no calm,
But truth delivered,
Though full of fear
And creating pain
Now therein lies
The peace of a righteous man,
Even if that truth he speaks
Is painful,
And if that truth is
Given freely
And with good intent
Even after some delay
Then that man
Can also be
Just as good
As that truth he speaks
