Lyrical Analysis of...
anger
- Not from this anger, anticlimax after
- Refusal struck her loin and the lame flower
- Bent like a beast to lap the singular floods
- In a land strapped by hunger
- Shall she receive a bellyful of weeds
- And bear those tendril hands I touch across
- The agonized, two seas.
- Behind my head a square of sky sags over
- The circular smile tossed from lover to lover
- And the golden ball spins out of the skies;
- Not from this anger after
- Refusal struck like a bell under water
- Shall her smile breed that mouth, behind the mirror,
- That burns along my eyes. Know, O dear readers, that the medicine of a disease is to remove the
- root cause of that disease. Isa (Jesus Christ) peace be upon him
- was once asked: 'What thing is difficult?' He said: 'God's wrath.'
- Prophet Yahya (John the Baptist) peace be upon him then asked:
- 'What thing takes near the wrath of God?' He said:'Anger'. Yahya
- peace be upon him asked him:'What thing grows and increases anger?'
- Isa peace be upon him said:'Pride, prestige, hope for honour and
- haughtiness'
- The causes which cause anger to grow are self conceit, self praise,
- jests and ridicule, argument, treachery, too much greed for too much
- wealth and name and fame. If these evils are united in a person, his
- conduct becomes bad and he cannot escape anger.
- So these things should be removed by their opposites. Self praise is
- to be removed by modesty. Pride is to be removed by one's own origin
- and birth, greed is to be removed by remaining satisfied with
- necessary things, and miserliness by charity.
- The prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: 'A strong man is not
- he who defeats his adversary by wrestling, but a strong man is he who
- controls himself at the time of anger.'
- We are describing below the medicines of anger after one gets angry.
- The medicine is a mixture of knowledge and action. The medicine based
- on knowledge is of six kinds:it boils within
- slowly poisoning all that it touches
- corrupting all that is within
- it has now reached a new level
- a level I never thought existed
- for it has boiled over everything
- everything I have
- everything I’ve worked to keep
- for I am now totally corrupted
- drowning in poison
- the poison of my life
- the poison you all help create
- the poison that has been growing within me
- anger
- anger is that poison
- anger is the poison within
- the thing that is eating me alive
- eating me from within
- corrupting every cell of me
- turning me in to a corruption
- for now I am just a corruption
- corruption... Anger is a virus
- That needs not even air
- To propagate contagion
- Whenever it is shared.
- Anger can't be placed in quarantine
- To contain its vicious spread
- For anger feeds upon itself
- And burns a flaming red.
- Anger is all consuming
- Anger does not desist
- From destroying sensibilites
- In that haze of its red mist.
