Incited Fury
O the fury stoked by the parent!
Incited by a word or phrase,
Making anger apparent
And setting one ablaze.
Some lash out with strikes and blows,
Others with words or pen.
Some hold on until it grows,
Then they count to ten.
At times kept and stoked
Over days, months or years.
Others on tears choked
And sought forgiveness from their peers.
Patience is the key
To being fury free.
