Echoes of Fear
ECHOES OF FEAR
Dreams of greatness awakens you
waking up from the old wooden chair
seeing a future, brighter than light
present situations bring you to a reality
a reality that discourages your ability
present conditions that undermines your will
questioning your strength in despair
Thoughts of greatness in bondage of fear
fear that suppresses a lion to a deer
the greatest failure of courage and bravery
null frightment of virtual uncertainty
this fearsome reality,
that puts your back against the wall
that unbuckles your shoes against the race
that cuts your wings against the flight
that weighs you down against the leap of might
Discouraging voices in their ears
whispering sounds in the wind
rusty leaves on uneven paths
all sending messages of fear
repeatedly there's a voice in the wind
strange voices worthy of silence
to prevent the coming pestilence
and eliminate anger and voilence
fearful words like poisonous seeds
being implanted in their insecure minds
creating enmity with fruitful prosperity
Just when will they realise,
the impending danger of fear
that creates a mentality of obscurity
that causes the fall of a great man
that turns the back of a great warrior,
against the tragic warfront.
O, what a man of fear like Job
the imminent fear of the unknown
creeping in destructively like a silent serpent
destroying all it came in contact with,
destroying silently in a loud way.
what impact does fear have?
if nullified by well secured minds
secured in wisdom of the word of God and power
only if man can just see the impending danger of fear,
that acts as a trap to catch the soaring eagle
creating temptations and unwise decisions
wrong thoughts on right realities
bad impressions on wicked minds
awaken!! man of war....become fearless to the battle
fear kills the self esteem of the great man
which makes him see a mere mortal continually
creating impossibility in strong possibilities
eliminating courage and bravery
finally, as it should always be
when the mighty giant in man is awaken
by the word of God,
he sees his impossibilities possible.
his strengths regained all over again
like he never fell to the damned pit of fear.
