Help me, O God, to hold my anger fast; <br />I must be cool while facing foolish mobs; <br />Their irritating methods cannot last; <br />Their misdemeanor gives me extra sobs! <br /> <br />In angry mood, mind’s function can be lost; <br />Avengeful is the angry heart of man; <br />Even the life of one, anger can cost; <br />Anger reduces the human life-span. <br /> <br />Control your anger ’fore it ruin brings; <br />An angry man can’t think or reason out; <br />An angry muse cannot unfurl its wings; <br />When anger strikes, man has about God doubt! <br /> <br />Just inhibit the vicious emotion; <br />Anger works like a dementing potion! <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 7-24-2006<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-when-angry/
