Francis Duggan Anger Poems

Anger and jealousy are siblings both self destructive in their own way
Of the damage they give rise to we hear and read of every day
In assaults and murder and every violent sort of crime
So many people because of them in prison serving time
...

Great buildings before her have toppled like dominos
She made them look as fragile as a castle of sand
Built on the beach by children in the morning
And washed out to sea when the tide floods the strand.
...

They are such a huge waste of energy and time
And are only known for sowing the seeds that can lead one to serious crime
Anger and jealousy and hatred cast a dark cloud on the mind
And any positive word of them to say seems impossible to find
...

Anger and hatred they do not mix well
And of them no happy stories for to tell
People because of them serve years of prison time
As they lead to horrible injuries and murder and many a serious crime
...

The anger of Nature comes at a huge cost
In South Queensland in huge floods human lives have been lost
Thousands of homes have been flooded in many a town
And large tracts of countryside covered in flood waters of brown
...

It is mainly due to prudence and a little fear
That of an angry person i try to stay clear
Where confrontation to violence often does lead
Of unpleasant stories we hear of and of read
...
