The Quaking That Raised Everest
You cannot quell the fires of contempt
That latched to this bitter heart
When all that's seen is torn apart
A raving of livid thoughts impart
Hatred
Still no mortal man is truly evil
Only those who do impose
And on redeeming thoughts oppose
When weary souls are denied repose
Heartache
Your fellow brother is simply lost
Confused and searching at the altar
Where still his thoughts forever falter
Wondering if his hardened heart can alter
Redemption
Kinship extends it's loving hand
Opened eyes that now can see
A heart unchained that beats with glee
Transcending thoughts, finally set free
Peace

Author's Note
There was a time when a deep hatred was rooted within me. I don't know the cause, or maybe I do but I have suppressed it. Either way, I have moved passed it. Many people think of earthquakes as destructive, and they certainly can be. However, look at the mountains that fill you with wonder and reverence. They are a product of earthquakes. A rumbling that breaks apart and tears, but then builds up. The hatred and rumbling I felt are gone, and I now stand before myself in the form of a mountain.

hello dearest poet I still burn with an anger that I don't understand
I suppress it and inevitably comes to the surface and I lose my temper
I understand this write and it's beautiful you have come through it...
great write ❤️

It took me a long time to deal with it. However, being angry and hating everything can be exhausting. Eventually I tired out and asked myself why. Why am I so hateful? It was only then that I changed my ways. You can push through it, it might not be today or tomorrow, but eventually you will.
