A terror we cannot defend.
Perceiving as danger, the acts of a stranger;
Tells others more than we intend!

Those traits that we dread; all share the same bed;
With those we dislike in ourselves.
We cannot abide them; nor can anger hide them;
Righteous indignance wont sell.

We choose who to hate; and so indicate;
Fearfulness weve yet to mend;
When rage heeds our call; she reveals after all;
More about us than them.

Topic: Sad Poetry

Contributed By: softerware
Anger is fear; protecting us near;
A terror we cannot defend.
Perceiving as danger, the acts of a stranger;
Tells others more than we intend!

Those traits that we dread; all share the same bed;
With those we dislike in ourselves.
We cannot abide them; nor can anger hide them;
Righteous indignance wont sell.

We choose who to hate; and so indicate;
Fearfulness weve yet to mend;
When rage heeds our call; she reveals after all;
More about us than them.
