The Anguish of Anger
"You
will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger."
~ Buddha
When
like a thunderstorm
it
strikes you wholly
you
reach in a mindless stream
that
washes you unconsciously
and all
the things worsen.
Like a
wild wind
it blows
away everything,
good or
bad, kind or cruel
Like a
deluge of flood
it takes
away completely,
lives
and boulders and trees
those
lay ahead its path.
When
anger engulfs you,
you
mistreat more than others think is worse,
you beat
more than others think in painful,
you kill
more than others think is death.
Nothing
remains when it is over
but only
a heartache of regrets
and
heartbreak of melancholy.
Wind
regrets for blowing wildly.
Flood
regrets for killing mercilessly.
Wind and
flood regrets for destruction.
A
regretful mind constantly haunts you,
in the doldrums you
reach
making
you uneasy and undignified,
after
all ashamed of your anger's deeds.
You wish
if you had controlled it
you wish
if you had defeated it
nothing
brings the difference
over
dead past and gone times
but
gives you the best platform
to learn
the
anguish of anger.
