Richard Walker

Anger

Anger brews a sullen cord,
Someone came who brought discord.
The day distracted, over acted,
Anger, became impacted.
 
Anger, the destructive force,
Anger brings the broken coarse.
Anger is the blight on life,
Anger brings a perilous knife.
 
Bow not to this ferocious force,
Do not join its malicious source.
Stay back from its violent way,
Control the feelings that within you sway.
 
Stay composed and fight with vigour,
Complex thoughts suggest decoy.
Seek support, put on your armour,
Defeat this anger, let it not destroy.

(2005)

Anger is an inevitable result in many cases of deep loss and grief, it happened to me after the sudden death of my son, and I dealt with it by writing about my feeling in the form of poems and verse
