Anger is red danger
But a familiar stranger
So It came as no surprise
At the times I have paid the price
More than the usual thrice
Before becoming very wise
The judge said
I should have been put in a cage
If one considers all the damage
I brought on with my rage
I knew
My anger was unreasonable
My anger was invincible
My anger was uncontrollable
But still very reversible
You see
In anger I always surrender
To the pressure I am under
In anger, I ungraciously lose
To the one I righteously accuse
In anger, I immoderately protest
Instead of letting things rest
Then trying responsibly to digest
And deal with issues best
So I say, So I say
Anger does not pay
Anger does not stay
Delay it from display
In time it will only go away
Now I know that
Anger does not pay
Anger does not stay
Calmness you should play
Before you begin to fall astray

I am very impressed with this poem. I love the unique way it flows and I can definitly relate.
This is a very cool poem. I like the rhyming pattern but there is a depth of wisdom in the words that is quite satisfying. Objectivity costs, but there is something to be recouped from the satifisfaction that skillful articulation brings.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
This is totally brilliant, magnificient, but somehow not perfect... I find this quite boring at the end of the poem. It's too long...
