Fear

It flickers into the deepest of our sub-conscience,
making us do things we wouldn't have dreamed before.
We do all we can, to stop uncertainty from throwing
a surprise right on our faces.
Insurance brokers, herbalists and fortune tellers know this very well;
they know we feel fragile on the palms of time -
they know we love our bodies, freedom and protection,
and we'll give out our last dime to keep them for ourselves.....
