Anger

When I am angry, I am not hungry
But when I am hungry, I am angry
After all, an hungry man, is an angry man

When I am angry, heavens let loose
And inevitable occur
That sometimes I become “Lukakulised”

When I am angry
Even with my mommy
Things get scary
That sometimes I narrowly
Escape epe abiamo

I  almost my father’s will
Because I will not do his will
All in the name of anger
And my father will not hesitate
Without haste
In making me suffer
From hunger
Just to quench my anger

I have destroyed years of friendship
Terminated months of emotional relationship
Killed sheep
And almost let go of decades of citizenship

Then I realized…
Anger only brings destruction
And the aftermath has never been good
Then I said to myself
I will not be angry
Even when I am hungry
Anymore…
You can also do it!
Anger is not good, it destroys
