Temper by Kalikala SmithSlow down
relax
calm yourself
there is
no need
for that
here.
Rage
accompanies
fear
so watch out
and slow down.
Everything
should be done
in a moderate
manner.
Fear
accompanies
the unknown
so relax
and soothe
yourself with
some truth
about nothing.
Everything
should be done
in a moderate
manner. 04/12/2003 Author's Note: temper: to moderate
