POEMS: Anger

Anger, why do you destroy so quickly,
what had been built with toil and sweat?
Like wild fire, you consume a man�s heart.
Like the will, you are blind, unable to think,
but choose the course of action by desire.

My ego speaks so loudly that my heart�s ears are deafened.
It is so restless that it is hard to tame.
� biting and tearing everything in sight�
a plan to control it seems a futile plight.

I feed the seeds of humility to this monstrous beast,
hoping that it shrinks the beast to the least.
Even in this cloudy mist,
a little word from you wouldn�t go amiss.
So I sit and pray in silence.
I will keep trusting in your omniscience.

Silence holds the keys that unlocks mysteries!
