Anger

Tiny aggravations assemble and remain Like viruses in the brain. They thrive and multiply Till sickness fills the mind, and Love and Reason die. The blood pulses faster, muscles tense Bulging eyes glare, Anger dulls the sense. Hands tremble, the body starts to shake Exploding in an emotional earthquake. Words of fiery lava, flow hateful through the air Accusations so scorching that Reason’s in despair Peace has been mutilated, it is near Death A Death that comes quicker with each flaming breath. Resentment starts burning in the other person’s body Anger lights its flame, for treatment that is shoddy Their eyes bulge, mirroring the glare Then everyone is shouting; Anger’s everywhere. Fingers straight are pointed, fists tightly clenched Hands begin to shove, collars grabbed and wrenched Action is physical, violence is the threat There are fiery promises, that blows will be met. Stop! Why do we do it? Where is the gain? Can’t we realize that Anger is insane? Nothing is achieved by its show of power If Friendship is sown, Reason will flower
