Rage
Raucous and ranting
Angry and panting
Where is thy sting?

You come with a roar
Violent and raving
Never behaving
Arrogant and vain

Thrashing and flailing
You wound without thinking
Fixate without blinking
Inflicting pain

You destroy without mercy
Brimstone and fire
What is your desire?
What is it you gain?

Fool that you are
You believe your passion
Is always in fashion
Quiver and quail

Words hurled in anger
You can never retrieve
Or do you believe
They can be atoned?

At the end of it all
What do you achieve?
Temporary reprieve?
A moment of gloating?

You will never prevail
A word said in kindness
Will dispel your blindness
All that fury in vain

Control your demons
For they will devour
Leave you without power
You are no match for love
