Are You Angry
When I see injustice bribe
The heart with hope
The mind with confidence
The soul with enlightenment
Anger silences my dreams
Colors my voice, my speech
In hues of exasperating need
When I see darkness begin
To win the struggle, making sin
Feel like it should be the answer
The reason, the way between
Doubt and fear – silencing joy
With noise so vicious it pours
Pandemonium into the heart
Turbulence into the passive spirit
Turmoil into the one who remembers
Confusion, disillusion, chaos…
Anger so bitter it feels infuriating
Like desolation pouring over light
When I see someone reject the fact
That anger, sometimes, will reflect
The right way, the truth, the honesty
Faith everlasting, reassuring, promising
Even though God is surely LOVE –
He can become angry at the sinfulness
Immoralities, depravities, wrongs
That echo the shadows of a heart
Who needs to know that God is alive
And He will give a verdict to the crimes
Anger is given a bad name by those
Who don’t want to admit, God Himself
Lay claim to the anger – righteous anger
When hearts, deceitful about all things,
Gave Him a reason to feel the pangs
Fury poured out on the one who knows
God has the strength to abolish sin
With whatever means He might see fit
Anger, my friend, is a needed feeling
When there is a reason, yes.. anger is
A blessing from the maker of the air we’re breathing
Ephesians 4:26 - Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
