Hate, Love & Trust! Poem by Tom Zart

An angry man opens his mouth
And shuts his mind to reason.
He who stays slow to anger
Is loved by more each season.

Anger snuffs the lamp of thought
And it's hard to stay serene.
Where anger rules hatred thrives
Then the world we love turns mean.

He who fans the coals of hate
Has no reason to complain.
If some hot sparks scorch his face
His anguish is thus his pain.

Anger is a human madness
Which consumes the heart and mind.
He who rules his spirit with love
Shall be praised by all mankind.

Some of us are as God planned
Though many are far worse.
Our characters are not of marble
So the Devil may work his curse.

Fame is what we steal or take
Character is what we give.
To this truth we must awake
So we might begin to live.

When we make ourselves accountable
That's when we strive by trust.
All who live by the principles of love
Are successful through doing what we must!
