CONTROL
Revenge, hatred, anger and vengeance
All of them eat away at our very conscience
Down to the bottomless pit of our non existent guilt
It takes time for emotions to be matured and built
We go on with violence like how soldiers go on with wars
A never ending battle, a situation which everyone abhors
Engulfing life after life, worsening at an exponential rate
Creating tears after tears till they reach their expiry date
Anger makes our blood boil and drives us up the goddamn wall
The most trivial of things would set us off down into the mad hall
A place for treatment like how the asylum is built for the mentally unsound
Unfortunately, sadly and truly the medication for anger will never be found
However, the cure for anger is within the mind body and soul
To calm our mind down just like that of a baby on his bedroll
So peaceful and serene. As tranquil as the Mediterranean seas we wish
But once awakened we know that the fires within our minds wont banish
Anger or wrath as it's commonly known, is one of the 7 deadly sins
It's manifested within that individual. Hence, the devil obviously wins
We seek for an outlet to vent all that bad air away
It's either we must let it go or just fucking let it stay.

Why is it everyone takes the 7 deadly sins to be something that's bad and evil? The word sin is stereotypically attached to the devil. Everyone goes on about peace, love and harmony. What it's like to be in that type of an era etc etc etc. Has it ever occurred to one that without the bad, there's no good? The good and bad came as a team. Fought the wars and broke up. People see the bad and don't want to end up like them, hence turning good. So you see, evil isn't necessarily associated with the devil. Although, i must say that the devil's one charming fella.
Love and peace together with wrath and hatred form a simultaneous equation, Hence isn't eternal damnation practiced everyday? So why is it that we humans still don't understand that the world is evil but yet also filled with goodness? Why is it we're so selfish to ourselves and to others around us? Shouldn't time heal all wounds? But why is it that the rage within us from young is still following us and haunting us without we ourselves knowing? The sub-conscious mind plays a great role and is in fact very daunting. Just that we don't see it that way. We can never control that part of the mind. But what we can do, is to control everything else before it controls us and hence sparing a day's work for the sub-conscious so that we can go to bed without a care in the world and face the problems the next day and not in our dreams and nightmares. ((:
These are just the wedded souls of the 7 deadly sins. We allow it to take control. C'mon, we're better than that. Everything has to have a balance. If we don't balance it now, we'll never know when to till it's too late. Sometimes, it's bullshit when people say it's never too late for anything. Because, you only learn once it becomes too late. Correcting it after your mistake isn't under the "it's never too late" category. It's under the "turn over a new leaf" one.
