Andrea Dietrich Poet Choka

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.

Joseph May November 7, 2018 at 7:13 AM Nicely done Andrea..Congrats on your win..

Kai Michael Neumann November 7, 2018 at 2:20 AM 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

Caren Krutsinger November 2, 2018 at 2:50 PM 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.
