Fury

What doesn't it cost my friend;
to stay so angry days on end?
To believe you have every right
to take life and instill fright.
Destroying lives and scarring minds
inflicting pain of the very worst kind.
How differently does your heart beat
in venturing into these merciless feats?
What lies in your line of vision
to accomplish such mindless missions?
I ask you not to share the love
but remind you, you aint the power above.
Go look around and see a smiling child
and wipe that fury that drives you wild.
If not I wish I was god for just one day
to change you for good or do you away......


I cannot contain my anger, sadness, and shock. More than that I am unable to fathom the fury that is destroying us. Sitting miles away in my air conditioned office in Singapore, I can do little else than write a silly poem, hoe, pray, feel quite useless, and curse.

If we all spare a few grams of love, some kind words, a random hug, and few moments of appreciation, a grateful acknowledgement, pennies for charity and silent prayers for some people we dont know..... will it go help?? I mean all of us ... everyone in the world.

As I asked once earlier, two years ago in one of my posts.... does it take tragedy inflicted pain to remind us to appreciate the gifts of life and love? I feel stupid complaining about my job, long distance relationship, the HDB I live in, and all the trivial things that contribute two cents of fury to me.....
