Anger |

The Muharram Sessions are a series of short spoken word poems on themes related to the day of Ashura.
Anger
You’re not in control
You feel that?
It’s a slippery slope
No hand on the wheel
They’re laughing at you
You’re smile they’re looking to steal
They hate you
And that hate how it feels so real
They’re out of your reach
And your grip’s just begging to feel
You’re powerless
And that’s anger
It sits inside man like fire
Feel that
That constant flicker
Let’s feel it
Been with you for longer
Than the love of your life
Anger, a real lover
Feel that fire
When it kicks off its fuming
A crack of thunder
And you rise up lighting
Crying
I’m so angry
Tears in my eyes
How do a baby’s cries grow into
Oh I wish they all die
I wish the world burns
I wish it turns to ash
I wish my sources of hurt
How they crumble and crash
I wish the blood flows rivers
And turns my face crimson
I wish I could shatter bone
And pummel flesh into submission
Oh they thought I was weak
And now they see that I am strong
They all told me what I couldn’t do
And now I sit with the pain
I sit with the pain
I… sit with the pain?
Is that anger..?
Or is it pain
Oh it’s pain
It’s a wound
Somethings hurting, I never knew
And now the regret seeps in
Was I really that angry?
Just because I couldn’t face
That voice inside of me?
Crying for help
That little kid that agitated me
And all he wanted was to be heard
O’ my Lord forgive me
Now the anger is useful
And now I’m not a slave to it, it is to me
Now I can use it to my advantage
How my gut and my mind are empty
Because how dangerous are men
that have not confronted their anger
Just look at the duality
That exists in Karbala
One side so angry
So much, they hated truth
They slashed and they stabbed at it
Until it’s numbers became few
And one side was just peace
Because they had they’re anger when in need
When they saw their love surrounded
How their swords became unsheathed
And the fumes of their anger
Made them forget the blood they’d bleed
For they’d come to terms with their pain
And what is anger but pain
True power is not anger
But keeping that anger at bay
For think about anger
What is anger
But pain?
