Fear Vs Hope By Nicholas Hayashi (Son of Nsorokan)

Fear burst destroying all,
Entire cities did fall,

Dressed as if thy where a ghost,
Destroys, leaving bodies piled, host upon host.

But there is resistance,
A useless, oh how useless resistance.

But it does do more, than fear's rash ignorance,
It has existed, as long as fear since

If there is no resistance,
Then there is no slaughter,
Like without ignorance,
Why have honor?
