Mr Calm, Cool and Collected

Pick on me. I stay calm Insult my family. I stay cool Hit me as hard as you dare. I stay collected Anger never does me any good Never solves a single problem My face turns crimson-red and I make things worse instead So, I've given up fiery outrage for the countenance of a sage

I had to block a poet on this site a while ago because they did not like my poem on supporting Israel and Jews. They spouted vile antisemitism. They and I went back and forth and I finally blocked them. I was angry.

Wise advice Gershon. I too have a fiery temper and need tub it. Hard to do when one sees wanton hatred and murder like what happened in DC the other day.

Hi Gershon, yes, the Bible warns us about anger. Anger can become a raging monster. I'm also one who would have lots of anger. I would defend my family members in a heartbeat, or another innocent person or animal. But I try to live my life more calmly now in general. This is a thoughtful poem well penned. Shabbat Shalom ~
