that attempt to corral
this life force into rules and taboos,
cults and sects.

Everywhere I look, I see the evidence of a creator.
But I don't see it as religion,

Repressed anger still is anger, it just isn't expressed.
If you truly have no anger, you are blessed and joyful.

pound pillows, scream, curse.
Then take a deep breath, and get over it.
