Fear
Though fear is an instinctive characteristic
It is implanted by some suckers, on the society
Giving birth to an intimidating practice; hoary
That has gripped the humanity since genesis.
Exploitation is the dearest offspring of fear
That has enslaved humankind down the ages
Unleashing a reign of trepidation repeatedly
Has no parallel in the record of civilization.
Fear has equipped its armoury with progeny
In the form of weapons; perilous and chilling
Foremost among them being the fear of god
With heaven, hell and Satan who join the list.
It has ever hushed the voice of the miserable
Subjugating them to harrowing sufferings
Meting out treatment inhuman nonchalantly
With no trace of remorse, even, occasionally.
Religion and its bye-product; superstition
Have ruled the roost since time prehistoric
With ignorance of masses to their support
Steal from mankind peace and progression.
