A Human of None Humankind

Fear makes a mockery out of us!

Fear challenges what's right and what's good!

Fear diverts minds from their paths!

Fear of yourself or of life?

Fear for yourself or your life?

Fear when you wake, when you sleep?

Fear as you starve or as you eat?

Fear feeds itself

Fear cheats itself


Beat fear? No fear!

Beat life? Dead life!

Blank stare? Cold eyes!

Dead heart? Ice mind!


A human of none humankind!

Very nice thoughts. I choose not to live in fear or let it take power from me!
