Anger

Pow! Blam! Boom! Explosive Sound of seething anger

Hitting, hurting, shouting, explosive pain to be inflicted

Not just on the one receiving but on the one giving as well

Anger unmanaged is an atomic bomb exploding

There is only the force of wrong that is anger exploding.

You can’t get back that which you have done

You can’t change that which you have created

You have no control over that which happened

There is no way to erase the results of anger

No way to get back what you have lost.

Maybe there is someone who can manage their anger

For certain, I am not such a person

I have know the pain that I have caused for years

I have no knowledge of how much hurt I have caused

I know only that I have been responsible for more pain

Than can be imagined.

It is my prayer that somehow, someway

I will cause less pain today and tomorrow

I will know less anger of any sort

And

I will inflict less of my anger

And

I will find love within to give instead!
