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 feeling 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.

I wrote this just after my son died in 2005, it reflects the feeling of great anger that was eating me up during those terrible days, in writing this it did in some ways help me to find a direction through it all, I knew that this anger would be all consuming if I did nothing to address it. All of my Poems/Lyrics were composed following my sons death and this dreadful event is the inspiration for all of my works
