Unjust Anger

Unjust Anger

A Poem by Not A Writer
"

What makes anger justifiable? Is it acceptable to be angry even when the other person mistreats me? These are the questions that I was asking myself this past week.

"

Not a word ere said                            

That life quickly told.                        

Spoke to me hastily yet,                    

Time you “did control.”                     

 

You held out the bowl,                      

I reached out by force.                       

I try to convince                                 

Yet fail to coerce.                              

 

These times made me red,                 

I wish you could see:                         

That giving tall orders                       

Is one of your idiosyncrasies.                        

 

I vented and prayed                           

Cause I had not my way.                   

Soon quickly did learn                       

That I too was a slave.                       

 

I’ll continue to serve,

Listen and obey.

Though we be equals

I’ll let God have His way.

diplomacy and calmness always seem to work better in achieving what we need to,
anger gets us further away brom breaking the chains.

Curious thing about anger; we are admonished by the Good Book not to sin whilst in our moment of anger, and at another segment to not let the sun set on our anger. Anger it seems is an emotion, valid as all the rest. Much like a thermometer, it is neutral, and gives us a reading. How we respond to anger is where it rises or totally false apart. At least I surmise. I've clean and tidied the house oft enough, to vent my anger. A positive result. And I have wrecked perfectly good appliances because of letting loose, thus having need to buy another. A double negative, if more. It seems to be what it is. And our character exercises itself and the consequences follow thereafter. Thanks for sharing, Ethan. You are much appreciated. /Frederick.
