What will you harvest if you sow anger?

When I burst into anger
My sound reasoning suffers too
Finding no pride for the things I render
And angrily do.
When I make things in anger
My red cheeks show my temper
When I uttered bad things to someone
Eventually, I regret what have I done.
In anger, no good things sprout
Giving not a wise or humble deed
But only wicked things come out
That I should apologize indeed.
Looking back at my past emotions
Good and bad are all recorded
I can’t recall a single occasion
When anger is being rewarded.

    A poem we should all take to heart. Words said in anger are the most hurtful and can never be taken back. Good work.

    Well put. You can never take it back even if you want to so the best idea to convey your thoughts is a respectable manor.

  • Darlene McFarlane on Sep 29, 2008

    There is a lesson to be learned here. Words and deeds of anger can never be taken back.

    Great work with a great message.

    As what is written in Proverbs 16:32 which states, \”He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.\”
