Fear

Fear is the evil
Fear captures the soul
Fear intimidates
Fear prevents us from becoming whole

Fear breeds certitudes
Fear perpetuates ignorance and hate
Fear fractures and divides
Fear - I fear we may be too late 

Fear is ironic 
Fear allowed us to flourish and grow
Fear helped us to survive
Fear brought us together - to be strong and be bold

Fear has us here
Fear is responsible for anxiety in our life
Fear has become so irrational 
Fear causes great strife

Fear is what we fear
Fear manifest in our minds
Fear left undiscerned
Fear - could lead to our demise
