Fear

Fear
Breathing down the necks of men
Holding them captive in the cage of monotony
Never freeing 
Until one learns to release the chains that bind them

Fear 
Trapping those without courage
Safe Jobs 
Safe Lives
Never taking a risk
Until one flees the safety of the known and learns to truly live

Fear
Paralysing 
Crippling
Controlling your every action
Walk the line without a fear of falling

You've captured the lethargy and stagnation created by fear. Wonderfully written..
