Revenge, annihilation, and destruction they seek,
For with such motives, they’re venturing a dark path.
An intensive disgust they have of the meek,
These are the embodiment of wrath.

Wrath is a potent driver of action,
For need for blood is great.
All the plans put in place will gain traction,
With how smoothly things are going, it must be fate.

Wrath is the sin that causes a lot of pain,
For destruction only, it seeks.
When all is said and done, nothing is left to gain,
Leaving everything in its path bleak.

Driven by the demon of wrath, one inflicts only martyr,
Little to no remorse they plan, and this fact becomes true.
With merciless actions towards the hated, their hearts become darker,
Hence, they’re loosing their humanity, to this is have no clue.

To counter wrath, patience is preached,
But one needs a great level of maturity
before such level is reached.
