Don't really know what to call this other than a two-part tautogram.
It came quite quickly to me and it wasn't even what I intended to write about. Sometimes the words are the guide!

These were some insightful and thought provoking tautograms. I like the word choices and duality of this piece. The contrasting language really drove home the message about the importance of balance in life for me.
Yes! Self control is hard for anyone to master, but nothing of value comes easy.
Oooo, I love the transition from temptation to control. You nailed this so amazingly! 🍩🥐
Fabulous!!! Loved it!!!
Oooh, "Temptations/Taunt/threaten trust..." Great work!
“Control calms chaos” indeed! 👏
Very nicely done.
Two parts with two tones. Nicely done
I was tempted to say something nasty, Paul (not really), but I managed to get myself under control.
Well done, Paul!
Well-thought out. Good work.
