Anger Poem by Ratan Bhattacharjee

Anger

Rating: 3.9


Anger is a hydra -headed demon
A demon beating its furious wings
a volcano belching out fiery lava
a gloomy sky cracking thunders
a CSTC bus rushing on a smoky road
in the wintry evening

Anger is emptiness or losing
A girl being robbed of her angelic infancy
a nonagenarian mother denied her home
a lost child crying for its parents in the crowded local train
a child that loses her doll

Anger is the foamy sea writhing with pain
The sea that rolls its waves to knock the barge
Or the sapless champak losing its petals
Or a hilly town without the snowfall
Or on a fuzzy vista a lonely bird calls

Or when I cannot write a single line


Anger comes to me
I become really angry

The last couple of lines - anger comes... Yes. if we can watch anger as it comes, we can keep him at a distance. If we identify with anger, then, we are lost. You have captured the reasons for anger nicely.
