Flames of Rage
August 19, 2008
A spark
Ignites a fire
Add coal and wood
To fuel it
And let it burn
Till it is raging-
Wild and wrathful,
Burning the wood
And coal
Until all that is left
Are charred remains.
Or,
When the flames
Are not yet blazing,
You can stomp on them
Till the fire is snuffed out
And the coal and wood
Still remain.
Just as you can let your temper
Build up
Till it is uncontrollable
Or, you can divert your mind
And cool down
Till it is put out.
