Anger and Wrath: the Final Vice

People believe that I am easygoing,
They say my compassion is ever glowing
But when one commits an act of deceit,
My heart begins a different beat.
Bystanders no longer feel optimistic,
I have now changed; I am sadistic.

Nothing can protect them from my wrath.
Get out of the way to avoid my path!
I only unleash destruction and despair.
My radiating passion fills the air.

Mercy is something they will not receive.
I offered warning, but they would not believe
The unlimited power contained within,
Triggered at the smallest whim.

You previously thought that I was weak…
Different thoughts arrive as you shriek!
Deep within my eyes lies only malice.
My feelings are dead; My heart is callous.
Do not give reason to inflame my wrath.
Get out of the way to avoid my path!
