Resonance:
It comes home in news print every day,
That little voice you know,
The one that tells you,
Is this mean, or what?
Plain and clear black and white.
Oh, you know what it is,
Sure you do,
After all it's easy to decide,
If you'd like it done to you.
Can you find the other shoe in the picture?
It happens in an instant,
You can feel it clear and strong,
Right off when you look,
"Man, this is WRONG."
Halo to one ear, pitchfork to the other.
The problem comes in,
When we're too close to see,
After all no one believes,
That mean could ever equal......me?
It's hard to look in the mirror when it's hot.
But you see the results,
Time after time,
How the acid of hatred,
Eats away a once kind heart.
"He never used to be mean, he was such a kind child."
Remember the bitter old people,
Isolated and alone and angry they are,
How they speak of faults,
Living mostly on "when I was...."
Glory days only pass you by if you aren't glorious.
It's obvious when you look,
How so easily anger erodes the soul,
But there's more to it than that,
It adds to an ugly whole.
Anger begets anger, fear begets fear.
It's a simple choice really,
But for some a hard pill to swallow,
But if you can always step back,
Maybe a second breath is a bit easier.
Take another glance at your life.
What is anger anyway,
Just an instinctual reaction to fear,
Look under the rug,
You'll find that particular bug.
Any child understands this clearly.
So what frequency do you vibrate,
What color is your soul adding to,
The red carnage of fear and anger,
Or the soft blue-greens of love and life?
Everything everyone does adds up to a certain,
Resonance.

Author's Comments
I especially relate to this week's
topic challenge. I've written before
on several occasions about how the
things we do can add their energy to the
quality of life on this world. Acts based
on anger are at their heart a reaction to
fear, and add to the fear of others,
and endless feedback loop until it's
countered with acts of kindness - which
are based on compassion, who's root is
love. It's really very simple. And no one
really needs religious training or moral
teaching to understand the simple divining
rod that will always answer the question of
where do our actions come from and contribute to.
It's simple - "Would I want done to me what
I am contemplating doing, or said to me what
I intend to say?" That will tell you right away.
