Anger Blocks the Way
by Michael Doyle

Anger
    Seals away
        Steals away
             Keeps away
                  Love

     Until the day
          We learn to say
             That which must be said
                 Hope will be dead
                      With disappointment

Danger
     Rules our decisions
         Without precision 
                With the derision
                    Keeping our hearts in indecision
                          
                           We lose our way...

        The past is future
               As we make our way
                   There to stay
                        In that faraway
                            That is our appointment

To see with clarity
     With all sincerity
          In all integrity
              Of true authenticity 
                   We can build our tomorrows

     As we put away our sorrow
         And regain the morrow
             For the straight and narrow
                 Guided like an arrow
                       Whose flight is true

Darkness 
        Seeks to find light
              And hold on tight
                  To make life once again right
                     Now and forever more
