The growing anger
hooks me . Seething
at the atrocities, those of
who wield their power.
and at the ones who
show off their wealth.
practise inequality,
nurture racism,
blast at whoever
comes in front of me.
unmindful of their stature
and status.
Let things go as destined,
the placidity, I derived
from the mountains
which stand aloft.
sustaining, harsh winds,
heavy rains, never once
allowing any such
to hamper her magnificence.
As the carbonate ddrink
pops out with a noise
when uncorked.
I shout, scream,
till my voice is lost.
Even after, I tremble
with anger cursing
the inhuman behaves.
Not Anymore

Re: Not Anymore
The poem’s biggest appeal? Its strong emotions. S1 & S2 move me. A suggestion: reverse “those of” to “of those”.
Take out S3... it isn’t needed after those opening stanzas...
I like the mountain image. Try to say these lines more succinctly...

The last line “the inhuman behaves” feels odd. No one would say those 3 words in that way.
I’m encouraged by your use of imagery. Keep it up!
