i would only have an angry man beside me in the bog
—by Conghalaigh


anger reigned in by intellect fights oppression
when anger fades
resignation resides
hope goes
depression reigns
intellect is queried
your existence is marred

anger alone - kills
intellect alone -murders
angry young men fight
without order
only rage
the intellects
can reason away the deaths of others
doing their bidding

the angry one
that tempers himself with intellect
plans
contemplates
executes
sometime
with no violence at all

so keep yourself mad
keep yourself outraged
only
keep yourself reigned in
in order to keep
yourself
and your comrades
alive
