Poem Title:
Poem
What is Fear? Is it only an emotion? Or is it our inner self looking into a mirror? Is it a way of life? Or a way simply to survive? Is it a way to dominate, control, over-power? Or a way to satiate our evil-most desires? Is fear a healthy, psychological trait, Built- in to prevent our demise and seal our fate? Is it a conscience? Or simply man- made nonsense? Perhaps a caution? Is it a choice, or even an option? Is it an instinct meant to aid in our fight to survive? Or is it a learned behavior we have adapted to help us thrive? Has fear of the Unknown kept us hidden in the dark? Or has our ignorance created this quest for knowledge on which we all embark? Are we afraid Because we do not Know? Or afraid of What we do not Show? Who can say what the term 'Fear' really means? Is the meaning Concrete, or is it Abstract? Does that make the definition Fiction, or is it a Fact? Is it in our subconscious, like that of our dreams? Is fear used by ourselves to keep us from doing what we dare? Or used against us, keeping us happily unaware? Is there such a thing as too much Fear? Or do we need more to kick us into gear? Was it Fear that led us into war after war? There is no way to be completely sure. So many questions have been pondered. So many answers have been squandered. One of Life's emotions we know so little about. What little we do know, leaves much room for doubt. There is one certainty, and only one: "That of which we do not know, can be undone." Our Quest for Knowledge has only just begun. Did you honestly think you had won? Pitiful Sheep, so blissfully unaware; You have already lost this 'Battle of Wits,' In Life's game of 'Psychological Warfare.'
