My Dear People
The people of this planet
People of our species
People from wherever you're from
Are still from this place.
You are all in danger
not from an alien
not from another
But from your own anger.
Angry with your own lives
angry about what you have
what you don't have
How to get more, you starve the others
You don't care
because you're angry
People strike back at you for your anger
You only get more angry
Why can't you have what you want
why are you so angry
They don't deserve it
And you do?
There are tons of things you want
A ton of things you have
A ton of things that you don't have
But these anger you.
Why am I ugly, why don't I have a girl?
Does that mean anything? Is it truly just sex and power?
No, its greed and that shitty lack of quick satisfaction
So now you're more angry
Is this my planet or not
Bible says so, religion says so
But its not yours, it belongs to all life
And that pisses you off
You better calm the fuck down
Your anger is spilled
Onto other life and other places to live
for everything, including where you live
Your dumb shit has caused the world to be angry
Irritation point has passed, you made it rash up
now it tries to warn you with a hiss
but you ignore it and wore bigger, tougher boots
But its going to bite and your might will not survive
keep on stomping people
the trap is set
the next stomp will result in empty bottoms
space will be your home
no planet to call your own
no suit to preserve you
you will die if your anger persists
It reflects back to you
Your anger shows up in every interaction
your neighbor is now your enemy
unwelcome faces because of differences in color
difference in shape
difference in money.
Your anger is dumb
your anger is unnatural
Your anger has killed you

Just a lover of literary expression no matter the genre. Spent too many years living a strange and extraordinary life not to eventually write about it and all the phenomenal beings I've encountered.
