Poem - The Angry Man, Poetess - Tasneem Hossain (Bangladesh)

 

The Angry Man

Tasneem Hossain

Look at the angry man,

You won’t see a thing.

Look in his heart,

You will see a million things.

The neglect of his childhood,

The abuse of his youth;

The heartaches of his young age,

The struggles that made him so crude;

A star is born with all this to conquer.

The agony of the heart built him stronger.

Made him, though, towards all so bitter,

Inside his outer layer lies a treasure. 

Look inside him with compassion,

You will see a man full of passion.

Sweet and soft, love is his mansion,

Fall in love with his infallible inner perfection.

Judge him not with his anger or age,

Judge him when you know him well.

A soft and humble sweet man,

Inside him, an innocent child remains.
