Anger, a strong feeling of displeasure
evoking in human mind
an unwholesome-awesome trait
is connoted in simple terms
as losing temper of a person
that makes the mind hotter
bringing disastrous effects
causing more and more clashes
among the masses.
One who speaks
harsh, filthy words
that hurt the minds of others
is consequent to anger
that makes man a monster.
Among intellects,
anger is controlled by them
by using their intellect power
to seek peace of mind.
In the final analysis,
taking the Buddha’s advice
that goes
as follows
to get rid of this danger of anger
harbouring in human minds
to attain solace and appeasement
is a final solution.
“By not letting your mind be polluted
by evil thoughts towards the person
who has wronged or hurt you. The anger
you harbour in your mind does you more
damage than to the other person. Therefore,
cultivate a life of joy and love, even
while living among the hateful.”
