My Name Is Anger

MY NAME IS ANGER…(©Peter Sprenkeler)

Hearken human folk…listen carefully,
For I have matters to advise you on,
Which can have dire consequence in your lives.
My name is anger…and in each of you at birth,
I have planted a very small 'ember'.
Not just any old 'ember'…no, no,
This one is extraordinarily special.
This 'ember'…given the right circumstances,
Can explode from a dull, barely glowing coal,
To one of the most intense fires ever seen.
For once this 'ember' is aroused..you are capable,
Of the most extreme and outrageous actions.
For basically I am very evil and hot-tempered,
I am intolerant and argumentative…easily upset.
It is these very characteristics that I have given you,
All locked in this very special 'ember'…to test you,
To your great credit most of you control this well,
You have realised the great threat 'loss of control' spells,
And pay much attention to avoiding the serious consequences.
For when I take full control of you…anything is possible,
Yes even merciless violence and murder.
Most of you have taken great care to avoid this at all costs.
But there are those among you that fail miserably,
Very easily seduced by circumstance…allowing the 'ember' to glow.
You people are capable of anything…I am here to warn you again.
But as evil as I am…I am giving you one more chance,
Do not underestimate the power within you,
Or the ferocity and rage the 'ember'can unleash.
For once pregnant with loss of control…you are its slave,
And utterly and extremely dangerous.
All of you know full well that the 'ember' resides within,
You have felt it burn many times.
Most of you handle the 'ember' very well…well done.
But it is a small minority that concern me among you,
For yourselves, those around you, and the world…indeed a very great threat.

Great job! A bit hard to read but good job!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
