Fear

I fear
I fear not the glow of the rising sun.
I fear the perils that leave the tasks undone 

I fear
I fear not the failure in examination
I fear the education that kills imagination.

I fear
I fear not the dearth of money
I fear stretching my palm in times of exigency.

I fear
I fear not the love's magical flow
I fear the burial of unspoken love in the grave of uncertain tomorrow.

I fear
I fear not the hurting word
I fear if there would be a day when I leave every word unheard

I fear 
I fear not the untimely death
I fear the burial of notable thoughts under the blanket of ceased breath.

'I fear not the failure in examination I fear the education that kills imagination.' All the lines are quite profound but this one really grabbed hold of me.
