Converted energy
Harvest the energy from anger
And use it to drive you forward
Through obstacles and challenges

For energy in motion
can powerfully thrust you
Beyond grief
Beyond the paralysis of fear
Beyond ignorance

Trust that the potential for action
is stored within you
When quietly inactive
When masked as depression
It is there in every corner of your being
It is there in your soul and heart
It is there in your mind as strategy, experience and purpose

Breathe deeply to find the switch
Let the oxygen help drive the conversion Take in the growing strength
From your ultimate source
Let each breath provide clarity
For recognizing and securing a path
For reaching equilibrium of thoughts
For engaging and inspiring others

Harvest the energy from anger
Along the way celebrate the power
to change your path
Remembering that merging that energy with others
Will not represent a solo reaction
But that of multiple conversions
With the power to secure humanity
And our Earth itself
