Ballad of Anger

With hatred In my heart A good Insult in my brain I'm so comfortable with anger It's really hard to abstain It knaws at my spirit Controlling my very being How it hurts me inside Is what I'm not seeing A true waste of time And energy at that People's feelings the ball My vengeance the bat What does this accomplish At this time today Because of these feelings At some time I'll pay With my frame of mind And stillness of heart Today I'll concentrate And vow to make a start To treat people better As I'd have done to me And one day my spirit From anger will be free

I'm not sure if you intended this but the pace of this poem seems to accelerate as you read it. Real cool. This is a strong piece of work. No place to spend your life (anger, I mean). - Dean
