The Anger of a Gentle Man
A beast never paid any mind to a fly
You cannot harm me
Though you try
Your snake bite is trite
Your scorpion sting
Means nothing
So go ahead inject your venom
Do your best
Till you have nothing left
I will go on regardless
Whilst you’re crying rivers
I’ll be erasing the very memory of you
From my subconscious
I am stronger than you thought
In my life, many wars have I fought
You are not the first of my battles
My enemies once grouped like cattle
One by one I defeated them all
It was me, not David
Who made Goliath fall
Killer of Kings
Keeper of Crowns
Raised their Cities
To the ground
Toppled their Thrones
Took all that they own
I tried to be gentle
But some cannot let
Sleeping dogs lie
Do they forget
They flicked the switch
And started this war
Now I am nuking on them
They are filled with awe
‘Who knew someone so gentle
Could fight till he drew blood?
Who knew he was this mental?’
Perpetual forgiveness
Did this
Always thinking of another
Now I think why did I bother
Broke the cycle of self injustice
If I am not good to myself
Then who else will be
Since looking out for number one
All I have done is won
You cannot escape the firing line
No, not this time
I am spraying across the range
Deadly focused, not deranged
My bullets will only hurt the guilty
If you have done no wrong
You have no need to fear me
Only the unrighteous will fall
In this brawl
I’ll have them crying like new born babies
No uncertainty in this
No hope of maybe
Be assured, my word is my bond
My mercy this time, as shallow as a pond
My fury runs deep to the Earths core
When you think it is over
You’ll find there is more
The slumbering giant has awoken
Though I was happy sleeping
My eyes are now wide open
So let me get to reaping
The seeds you sowed
Will have you weeping
This harvest will not be one worth keeping
When I am done
You’ll wish you were six feet under
My wrath as frightening as thunder
As it crashes and splits your world asunder
A storm from the beginnings of time
But believe I am completely fine
I’m wrecking your life not mine
Once I am done
I will return to calm
Allow my tranquil self to return
I will lay my head down to rest
Until the next time someone decides to test
The anger of a gentle man

This one has effective momentum and energy, ZuZu! One very minor suggestion. Your ‘Who knew” stanza. Those are questions. They need question marks. (“?”) Great work. It made me get a lot done around the house.
I’m such an impulsive writer, I never look over my work with a editing eye, must improve on that lol! Thanks for noticing, must amend that!
I’m so glad you liked it and took the time to comment, I think this must be true for you, you strike me as a calm gentle relaxed guy…who has ‘Hulk’ transformation potential. lol.
You have glimpsed my inner character perfectly
..and I have not shook your hand or looked into your eyes. Boy I am good! lol
