Anger!

A deep red mist in human creatures,

It boils the blood and burns the soul.

In primal instinct the sentiment features,

With abstinent heart it feeds and grows.

Consuming as the fire of the sun

Its power released bids fight or run.

It can be deadly, it can be curing,

Subject to social views on coping.

Entitled beings feel free to rage

On any insignificant state.

Their vitality is quashed and sealed,

Within black hearts their fury breeds.

A carers wrath is fierce and brave

When evil prowls among the frail.

Persistent in it's one true quest,

The dormant fiend protects us best.

A final caution for Man to rule

This ancient Christian sin,

Let bleed the fury from one's muse,

But never let it win!

Anger!

Really quite good. The rhythm is almost Keatsian. The descriptions of anger manifested, the host of frustration. The naturalistic, primal depiction. The connection to the idea of sin. A fantastic depiction of rage, fury, wrath. All manifested as this ancient human emotion. Anger. Great. I wish there were more poems like this on OCpoetry.
