Fear

It can nail us to our chair
But it cannot prevent us from dreaming
It can obscure our vision
But it cannot touch our conscience
It can deafen our ears
But it cannot prevent us from listening
It can bind our tongues 
But it cannot suppress our thirst for truth
It can weigh down our spirit
But it cannot rob us of our freedom
