Anger! Poem by Eric Cockrell

Anger!

Rating: 1.3


early morning anger,
raw, jagged edges,
cant-feed-my-family,

cant-pay-the-rent....
anger!
pounding my fists

against a stone wall,
anger!
working, scuffing, trying

to just get by...
anger!
just like so many others,

all of us, struggling
just to keep going...
anger!

standing up, marching,
sitting down, making a statement,
anger!

turning this anger
into positive action...
the key!

Fantastic poem. Evoking a constructive, rather than a destructive response to life's frustrations. Great work.
