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
