" On Anger "

To attempt to extinguish anger
Is but a boast from the stoic minded
To cage such powerful emotion
Is to find yourself reminded
That you are not in control
Is it not wiser to allow the explosion
But NOT to sin in the midst of your goal
Which is to ride the crest of your natural emotion
And then to open the door of reflection
Stifling any objections
To your God-given inclinations
Instilled in you by creation's
Divine wisdom
And angry determination
Where God exists
And you alone
Comprehend your own
Anger....
