Poem – ANGER

Anger makes people uncomfortable
Anger makes people imbalanced
Anger has no value – if not felt
Anger has no meaning – if not understood.

Angry man may make others angry
Anger may not bring desired results
Certainly does not bring friend
Surely brings foe to you.

Anger of mother is understood
Many a time comfortable and soothing too
Anger of nature is dangerous
Sometimes rude and raw
It’s impact  is equal for rich and poor
Never partial –
Always shows an effect to a cause.

Is anger of beloved – ultimate love!
Why friend’s anger is welcomed?
Anger of boss : a lesson or a teaching?
Is it his right to be angry all the time?

Anger of subordinates need thorough enquiry
Certainly needs patient hearing
“ANGER SHOULD BE SHOWN ITS RIGHTFUL PLACE
NEVER ALLOW IT TO DOMINATE US IN ANY CASE”.
Anger helps none
Many realize this  after cooling off
Anger – a big foe to self
Not a friend at all.

Anger is anger
Let it come and go
It’s better to control anger
Try – and not allow it to come at all.
Let us find ways and means
And allow anger to lose its heat off
The venom it has
Will certainly fly off.

Coolly ask – ANGER
Can you not be a story to be read?
A ball to play
A dream to enjoy
A poem to be read and enjoyed
A poem to be preserved or just to forget forever..

Dear Friends !

Let us read an interesting short and inspiring story to understand more about anger. This story is taken from internet. The author is unknown. Enjoy the short story………

Nails In The Fence 

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound is still there.”

The little boy then understood how powerful his words were. He looked up at his father and said “I hope you can forgive me father for the holes I put in you.”

“Of course I can,” said the father.
