Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Our anger, sometimes justified
angry, like Christ
in the face of injustice

Turning our face,
from the needs of others
when the world
is opposed to love

Yet mindful of excess
when anger controls us
and turns us to sin

Righteous anger
only in moderation
focused on harm to others
not of our own needs

Elsewhere, anger blinds us
separating us
from those we should love
