Who
was that angry young hot-headed hooligan
Ranting and raving in rivulets of rage?
Awash with the angst of
Contrite consternation,
Keen to react and so quick to engage.
Hustling highways and bristling byways
To get it done my way and rush to the end.
Smashing resistance with strident insistence
Til left and bereft in pursuit of a friend.
Always in danger of onerous anger
Amidst all the clangorous chatter and noise,
Struggling with all my might
Just to avoid a fight,
Grappling to score without losing all poise.
But tough times and trials and tragic tears
Can soften a once stoic steel veneer
Til tall walls of frowns come tumbling down
To fancy as winglets for fantasy’s fears.
And though these life lessons so smartly serve
As treasures (much more that I deserve),
I would not, will not, cannot swerve
And allow old angers to reappear.
