As iron sharpens iron
One man can gird another.
A rising tide lifts up all boats,
Whether small or mighty rudder.
When Moses lifted up his rod
To bloody that mighty River,
He sharpened up his nations men
Like the arrows in David's quiver.
If we go along life's paths
And forget to bring our brothers,
We will fall into pot holes,
Unassisted by another.
An enemy passed me by one day
As I lay beside a ditch.
I almost had bitter words to say,
When his cohort reached to lift.
What makes one man roll up his sleeve
As another man turns away?
Why do some men espouse virtue,
And others seek only pay?
As iron sharpens iron,
All men can strengthen spines.
I want to bolster yours friend,
And wont you please glue mine?
Come reason with me I hear some say
Until our purposes shall be one.
Well hone the blades that pierce mens hearts
So Eternitys work be done!

| It saddens me that by being non-religious I feel myself thrown astray of your poem, because I admire your ability to keep a flowing steady pace throughout it. I can rarely do this, and find myself changing tempos and rhythms throughout. I like your mentioning of bolstering spine, and gluing mine. Very nice. |
