Anger

Fools are those who let emotions overwhelm them, and those who simmer in rage, are among the worst, for murder often is born from this deadliest of sins. Nov. 2, 2018 for the 'One of the Seven Deadly Sins' Poetry Contest sponsored by Edward Ibeh

Nice one. The angry ones get away with murder far too often. By the way, the East Prussian philosopher was universal with his categorical imperative. Let US find our way, but he was explicit about murder. Not a God, but a wise man. Kind wishes, Kai

It is always best to vent that anger so extremes don't end up in ruining lives forever. Well put Andrea. Best for this contest. This is a contest a I will have to pass on. : )

Good luck in the contest, my friend. I used to let emotions overwhelm me, but now I put them into words or my art, thus, I do not have to turn myself inside out with unhappy any more.
