RE: POEM: A Long Way to Go

in #poetry6 years ago

The anger poisons if you keep it in. Letting it out through poetry isn't a sin... Katrina ;-)

Seriously though, what I said in that silly poem I completely believe. One of my fav bands to listen to when I get that feeling is 'Rage against the machine'. When the perpetuation of this demented system of consumptive capitalism that is bleeding our planet dry like a vampire, gets me seriously wound up, I just wack a bit of rage on super loud lol. It's a bit heavy but it just echoes my thoughts and helps me exorcise them.

Around 1.45 minute the lead singer speaks these words: 'Anger is a gift'.... sometimes it can be because we sure as help ain't living in a state of freedom.

Having said all this it is important not to let it bother you, but just not to forget also. That's just my opinion and how I deal with the negatives this world throws out. I love your poem by the way and the sentiment at the end :-)

I listen to a bit of Rage from time to time, and yes, anger can be a gift. It can motivate us to change, and I think part of that change is speaking about it, saying it's not okay. Reminding each other that we're not alone.

Poetry helps me get the feeling out—music is another excellent outlet—and then it's so much easier to move on. Thank you for the fabulous comment!
