Hold Your Temper

                  How many times have you felt like killing,
                  Or wielding your knife to see red blood spilling
                  Like a torrent from a gaping sewer?
                  Did you ever break your fists in anger?
                  You know even Death gives you a 'close' call
                  Oft when your fury leads to a pitfall.
                  Unchecked, your ire will sooner or later
                  Reward you with a burden much greater
                  Than just regret;  You will be scarified,
                  Even when you think you were justified.
                  Most wrongs against you can be rectified
                  Peaceably and more swiftly than plucking
                 'Eye for an eye', a practice most shocking.
                 Revenge though sweet, Remorse will come knocking...

                              (Lest this be misunderstood, above advice
                               is directed to myself.)
