Fear of Fangs Or Vice Versa
FANGS OF FEAR
It is all because of the claws
The tawdry talons of temptation
It simply refuses to pause
And never comes to a cessation
What lurks beyond the bend won’t ever end
Around every corner it is fear that I find
Peace and harmony never seem to blend
When a song of enticement enters my mind
It is all due to my being so weak
It is all due to my not being strong
It is all due to my life seeming so bleak
And because too often I’ve been so very wrong
My mind reveals a facile fragility
Fragile is my psyche and soul
My ego possesses a damnable debility
And a lack of strength on the whole
It is all due to the fangs
The sharpened teeth of time
In the balance is where my future hangs
The balance between cruelty and crime
