Outrage in me has declined.
Sometimes I wish I could rewind.
To refuel that fire and have it burning bright.
Feel it blaze through day and night.
Stoke it higher so it roars.
Takes on a new life with giant clawed paws.
My disgust has been eroded.
At one time it was stocked and loaded.
A vast powder keg ready to go kaboom.
Take out every idiot gathered like a loon.
But time has changed me now.
No longer am I on the verge of making such a vow.
Hatred is no longer my key.
It does not keep that spark in me.
Pleased to say that I have mellowed down.
Won’t happily wear a spiked crown.
When it happened I don’t know.
Not that I am complaining one bit though.
Peace has come swimming in.
I feel it in my every minute of being.
Never did I think I would be quite so calm.
Its as though I hold the world in my palm.
What a thing it is to say.
Its why I’m smiling every single day.
