Why do people succumb to anger?


thoughts

It feels so easy to slip into its grasp. But at the same time, from a distance, it looks quite stupid. Aren't we overreacting? What's the point of hitting one another, yelling at one another, going to war with one another? Yet when are up close, immersed in anger, we feel nothing but blissful rage, if that makes sense. Sweet revenge empowers us. Makes us feel as if we are at the top of the world. Maybe it is a survival mechanism. But I sure wish it weren't.
Cacophony

The sky is dark,
thus I hear not a lark
but a clash
and a smash
of dishes
I wish
my nights were more quiet
for if they were, there would be no need to riot.
For everything would be still,
yet that gives me such a chill.
What's a world without sound?
Nothing but a sorry mound.
Life without it
is lacking in spirit.
So let the dishes bang on,
I'm still ready to yawn.
