Anger As A Threat Response Poem by Terence George Craddock

anger can be used
as a protection
for all interactions

if unable to determine
no present threat exists
this approach is a knee

jerk reaction like a rockie soldier
or overwhelmed exhausted veteran
who shoots first asks questions

later a first response fail safe
proving lethal to wrong place wrong time
friendly fire chance caught victims
