Sometimes I get angry when I think about how I have been unkind to others
And how others have unkind to me
Sometimes I get angry because when I had the chance to tell you all that you meant I never let you know
Sometimes I get angry when I read about our history
Sometimes I get angry when I know that the air that we breathe is polluted
Sometimes I get angry when I see so much death, war, and misery
Sometimes I get angry that we have to eat unhealthy foods
Sometimes I get angry that we have to drink from a dirty water source
I get angry that some people don’t appreciate each other
And the trees
the flowers, rain, snow, the sunshine, the moon, the stars, the air that we breathe, and all of the living things
in this world that we have been given
And sometimes I get angry at being so angry, I wish that I could take this anger and turn it into peace
Because I get angry that my anger sometimes consumes me
