Another Angry Prayer

I Just Feel Anger

Anger
I just Feel Anger
Anger about greed
Anger about cruelty
Anger about those in power

*

But anger does not serve
It diminishes desperate fury
It clouds judgement
One is more free
Without it

*

And so…
I pray to be free
Free of burning red rage

*
Instead… I pray for clarity’s cool revelation 
Sunshine, sky and the pure water of wisdom
And with it a loving view of a serene landscape 

*

Make me free of anger so that I may be wise
And kind, patient and loving, and radiate
Joy, happiness and gentle detachment
And best of all – understanding
And so be free of anger

Amen
