Cause And Effect

Frustration can be so wearisome,

Especially when others take it out on you,

One may try to see where they're coming from,

In the end, realize there's nothing you can do. 

Some who experience this relentlessly,

After a time learn that silence is best,

It does no good with these people to act defiantly,

As in the end, you'll only add to the stress. 

Let me ask all here,

What does anger solve?

As honestly, I must be clear,

How can you think being angry will lead to resolve?

I understand that some things ware you down,

But those uninvolved shouldn't pay a price,

They'll wonder why in them any guilt should be found,

Thus this way of thinking can only be seen as a vice. 

Next time the temptation comes to any of you,

Take a second and ask what you're trying to achieve,

Because for the other party what will be their view,

Is that around you they can no longer comfortably breath.

The point being there is a cause and effect,

How you respond will impact all around,

So what is it you want others to detect?

Because that will dictate where you will be bound.
