Anger

Anger it has to be said,

is not all it’s cracked down to be

just a wasteful, negative emotion -

it can be a source of great energy

I for one quite like it

for it tells me what I need to know

about a person or situation in this world

and the route I need to go

For despite all the bad publicity

and never really being in vogue

it helps me measure toxicity

and determine who’s a rogue

I absolutely need to sense

the blood, as it boils inside me

to really feel right from wrong

and know it justifies me

For anger is a motivator

a catalyst for getting things done.

They are feeling this in Beirut today

a hell beneath the sun
