Anger
Anger is an illness
That hurts us deep inside
When we try to justify it
It's to ourselves we have lied
It always fuels our wars
At the heat of bigotry
Whenever we use it
It ends in misery
But anger brings a twist
In many different ways
It masquerades as hatred
Which we know never pays
Anger is part of our culture
It's roots are deep within
There seems no way to break it
We're stuck with this deadly sin
How about make love not war
Seems a thing of the past
We really need to love each other
And have peace on Earth at last
