Anger Is Loser

What the truth is
What the lie is
The answer crafted in me a contradictory root

Sometimes I feel, I understand
I'm defeated by the lie

They are human where I think I'm nothing
At end of everything they are right being

Now, on the deck of loser
like the migratory birds, I'm
Willing to fly to goalless address;

Time crawling to the way of itself
like glittering water on arum leaf
 
For six months behind them
I'm snared by their good look

In their own cavern, they are busy
I'm abandoned prayer on my knee
Where the truth is, where the lie is
My anger lost all words of peace

And now, the anger or the peace
Advises me, "Be patient, please"
Where I learn- 'Anger is nothing,
But the weak child of knowledge.'

Phyllis Babcock June 22, 2021 at 8:58 PM Anger never does accomplish anything and we should never go to bed with anger in our hearts but always with forgiveness. A wise write. Blessings phyl.

Gershon Wolf June 22, 2021 at 6:27 PM Anger -- 'The weak child of knowledge.' So true, Mahtab. Wise men say that when you are angry, all the knowledge at your beck and call just disappears. And that's how it works too. Blessing and Bounty, Gershon

Beata Agustin June 22, 2021 at 12:09 AM Thanks for sharing these words of wisdom in your awesome poetic style. May I share this Bible verse that can be applied as regards being angry righteously: Ephesians 4:26 "Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath." God bless you.
