Anger is to be dealt with

Do not appease anger.
Do not coax it to slumber.
Do not stroke it until it lies down.
Anger is not a pet that is so easily submitted...

With the leash in your hand, you tell yourself that you are in control...

Yet, something snaps and you find yourself dragged by the leash
Jerked in every which way
Until anger tires and lays down for a nap...
or hears the soft melodies of coaxing repeated over again.

Anger can only be appeased for a short time
But it is never satisfied
In your care, it will only rise again at an opportune time to rear its ugly head

You can dress it up in costume,
You can play make-believe and say...
"Oh, you look so smart! Aren't you the cutest? You are my little 'discernment'..."
or
"How obviously clear that you are dressed up in your 'reality' outfit! It is for everyone to see!"
or how about
"Justice is your name and don't you look dashing and noble?"

Do not be deceived... anger cannot be appeased
In the end, it cannot be coaxed.

It must be done with.
Ended.
Terminated.
Finito.
