ANGER

ANGER

When thy perceptions go awry

Doubt persists for every doubtless thing,

Your mathematics goes topsy-turvy,

You add two plus two three,

Your rationality takes the backseat,

Your mind receptors get beating

Sugar tastes vinegar,

Vinegar itself loses its flavor,

Thy taste-buds turn insipid,

When thyself remain no thyself,

You smell rat in every deal,

The bountiful fragrance gives

Repulsive odour in rage.

Thy touch becomes even more awry,

Meda’s touch impedes,

Flawed feelings perceive,

Soft feelings for other turn

Barbed and spiky.

Hearing becomes frigid,

Fascinating music loses its charm,

Ye think it will do more harm,

Anger takes away the music of life,

From our midst, whilst in anger.

If they aspire to live a Balanced life,

Shun the anger that robs you

From yourself,

And puts you in somebody else’s clothing.
