Fear

FEAR

Four letters that form such a simple sound
But one that can capture, induce and hold you bound.
It is truly the seed of that called the evil one
As tho to remove from your mind the light of our earthly sun.

Its existence breeds on loneliness, pain and greed
To be destroyed only by human love and the good deed.
Some have used fear on an equal basis with love
To believe in a fearful God that would deny to send us the dove.

Others to use for human mental pain
To shackle the mind and body; time and time again.
The perpetrator of fear who sows its seeds
Not out of righteousness but more for evil deeds.

It has been freely used in the structures of man
To induce or capture and try make us understand.
Fear itself is never displayed or open to view
It hides in its own darkness without a hue.

Never to stand in the light of the sun
Nor ever to be victorious or stand as one.
Power is where it feeds and makes others act
To punish and control and that is a fact.

The destruction of humanity is its primary goal
It is the carrier of loneliness and without a soul.
Always incapable of sustaining its own greed
So it uses others to plant its seeds.

Perhaps at one time it was a very great star
But because of its greed a black hole you are.
Never to reflect itself because you lack light
A symbol of ugliness rather than might.

Humanity continues to struggle for its existence
Despite your many attempts for influence and resistance.
Tho your victories have been many and also cruel
Over humanity you shall never succeed nor rule.

As we have perished many times in the past
Your victories were short lived and never did last.
So fear tho you many continue because of greed
You shall eventually perish by eating your very own seed.
