Anger is red danger,
But a familiar stranger.

So It came as no surprise,
At the times I have paid the price.
More than the usual thrice,
Before becoming very wise.

The judge said,
I should have been put in a cage,
If one considers all the damage,
I brought on with my rage.

I knew,
My anger was unreasonable,
My anger was invincible.
My anger was uncontrollable,
But still very reversible.

You see,
In anger I always surrender,
To the pressure I am under.

In anger, I ungraciously lose,
To the one I righteously accuse.

In anger, I immoderately protest,
Instead of letting things rest.
Then trying responsibly to digest,
And deal with issues best.

So I say, So I say,
Anger does not pay,
Anger does not stay.
Delay it from display,
In time it will only go away.

Now I know that,
Anger does not pay,
Anger does not stay.
Calmness you should play,
Before you begin to fall astray.
