Anger and Hope — a poem of finding strength in rage
An Octameter
Apr 17, 2025
Fear leads to anger;
Anger gives me hope
That we won’t back down,
And we won’t despair.
Together we fight
When life is not fair;
Our troubles are less
When burdens we share.
Too angry to bend,
We fight those who hate,
And we stand our ground,
Each other defend.
Our rage gives us strength
To hold to the end.
Invaders beware:
We’ll be your nightmare.
