Well, it’s official folks.
I’ve been neutered.
Damn…
When did my words stop meaning anything?
Who sucked the bile out of my veins
And replaced it with light beer?
Who took away the gun that I held to my head,
While I screamed about whatever bullshit
Popped into my pathetic skull?
When did I go from being a raving lunatic
To a lobotomy patient?
When did my tear ducts stop spewing battery acid?
When did my thick skin turn to thick skull!
How does a human being turn into
A pathetic whiner who could never shoot
An angry look toward the man shooting him down?
How do you break a man down the middle?
I need to know these answers!
I need to know who’s responsible!
Who cut off the blood lust?
Who quenched my sense of vengeance?
Who tore my senses away?
Who left me disfigured as the non-disfigured?
Who gave me more to make me less?
I need to know!

I had a shitty poem, so I got rid of it and put up this one.

In my opinion, rarely do such drastic changes happen to a man overnight. If I had to guess, it was negligence on behalf of the narrator, who's thinking back on his younger days when he had the fire in his belly, and he's seem to have lost that burning anger when in reality he simply outgrew it.
An alternate interpretation would be a drastic change imposed upon the narrator against his will, something along the lines of Brave New World where he's been forced to ingest a soma tablet that melts away his anger. It'd have to be one of the first times this has happened to the man, though, for the soma tablets eventually make a person keep coming back for more.
