Anger is a living, breathing entity within the pit of my stomach. Waiting just beneath the surface to burst forth in one of my violent torrents, to wreak havoc upon myself and those around me. It steals all control as it casts aside logic and reason out the window, leaving only the feel and temptation for raw unwarranted action. It follows no pattern. Irational and erractic, it strikes anything in its path, uncaring of friend or foe. It just is, ruling the mind, making me commit actions I would otherwise see as unfit. Never have I felt an emotion so powerful, so irrational. It terrifies me… The things it can make a person capable of. It exceeds all boundaries effortlessly, as if they never were, reaching out from within to consume others within its powerful grasp. Letting loose chaos, it sets free a hell on earth. People who were once friends become mortal enemies, sooner to stab eachother in the back than to offer a once helping hand in times of need. Mothers forsake their children and men use and abuse women for their own perverse pleasure. The seed of greed, selfishness, and pride is planted driving us as fellow human beings apart. We no longer see passed the flesh and bone, passed the hidden downcast eyes into the soul for we no longer care. Fear is wrought in iron casts encasing us all, making us both prosecutors and convicts…The makers of our own demise. It no longer matters who you are but what you are. What you are on the surface. They care nothing for the person on the inside, only outward appearances matter. Decievers become the decieved as we all try to hide from eachother, from ridiculing fingers, and ourselves… Afraid to peer in the mirror to see what we have become. We envy the successful, those that have reached a true state of cold heartedness, wrapping them selves in the security blanket of wealth, trapped within the world of material possessions and empty pleasures to keep truth and loneliness at bay. Comradre and lyalty become lost while love is forgotten and honor is cast aside as no more than an over chewed, bland tasting piece of gum. In time we grow bitter with nothing but hate to hold us when loneliness strikes. We lash out at others, wanting to feel our own pain no matter their own burdens. All this so that we may throw up our hands in denial and wail the same tunes of misery to the heavens. To blacken the world with negative thoughts and actions, all becoming encased in ice. Impervious to the light, we float adrift in time and space, never moving, yet lost to forever feel the pain of our deeds and to lament forever more with no hope of salvation. We become empty shells. Nothing more than mindless machines carrying out the same tasks taught to us by previous generations of the same, endlessly spreading, deprivation for it is all we have ever known. None of us lift our heads and see the world and the light. To be able to then turn around from that broken path to which everyone is lead, to find our own road filled with hopes, dreams, and most of all reality and truth. But we are too scared, so we follow the masses in an endless cycle.

And all this spawns from the emotion called ager. Anger which brings others of its make like misery, jealousy, greed, selfishness and hate. The power it holds over us as human beings is enormous and frightening. It spans across time, across people like an infectious disease and could very well be the one thing that will drive the human race to the ground. Ant to think… That if all of us as a whole could stop fearing to love, to see ourselves and to cast aside the fake visages worn to throw others off our trackes we just might be able to get somewhere… To be able to do something with each of our lives if we could just find and accept ourselves as both human beings and individuals. We could do something great and become something much more than the boiling mass of chaos and confusion. If we would only pay more heed to happiness, love, and acceptance instead of letting the negative strike us down and become crucial in our lives. If we could let anger go and hold on to love, no one would have to live in fear… As simple as it sounds no body listens. Despairing cries for fairness fall upon deaf ears, for we have a mindset that to embrace and show those emotions would make us weak. A man with nothing to lose is strong but a man with something to protect is stronger for the man without anything has lost all sense of hope. As human beings we have great potential to do great good or great evil, it all depends on the choice of our free will. Do we cast aside anger and become apart of the greater good? Or do we hold on to it, setting the chains that lead us into depravity?
