Forsaking Anger

I have found that most of the time 
People don’t know what they are angry about.
For that reason, it is better not to be angry.
It is better to choose peace.
Anger leads to war
And destruction.
And there are few
Who do not choose war
When the fires of rhetoric are kindled 
And billowed by the machine.
And anyone who has harbored anger is at risk
No matter how righteous their cause appears.
You don’t even know yourself until then.
But if you could see ahead
To what you might become,
You might forsake your anger before it’s too late.
