Anger is such a waste of time.

What gets your temper up

Soon passes away,

And not worth time  to be upset.

But we all, at one time or another,

Let little things build up.

Just needing a spark to ignite it,

And then you lose a friend.

Words you wouldn't think of using,

Blair out of your mouth.

Stunning the listner to tears,

And in some cases, a broken heart.

The genie has been let loose;

And you can't retract what was said.

Your temper, unrestrained

Has lead to your demise.
