Free Range Fear

There is too much fear in the world these days, Fear of the unknown, scared in soo many ways! Phobias of spiders, mice, rats and bats, Are you frightend of nothing? Why are you scared of that? Scared of oppression? And the way they use aggression? Are they messing with your head, using psychic suggestion? Wrestling with your doubts will only lead to fear, Always looking into shadows.. scared that something's always near. You're winding yourself up! There's no reason to be scared, But it's never as it seems.. so you'd better be prepared. Because if you're feeling fear, it could be.. you're not ready, With your trembling legs, and butterflies in your belly. It's not so strange, that lots of people fear pain, Being boiled alive, with needles stuck into your brain, You've got to be careful, I'm afraid to say, Be quick to make your mind up, to fight or run away. Would you fill your pants, with a gun to your head? Now, that's REAL fear.. you could be dead, enougth said! Some could find your nerves and make you scream for weeks, They can teach you about pain and how it reaches new peaks. But the ones like that.. are fearful too, Of justice, revenge, and the human rights crew. They should be scared! I wanna see their faces white, 'Cause they even kidnap kids and slip away into the night! Now I'll get swept away, as it floods from me, See, some of these emotions, are as deep as the sea, Some wanna get a gun, and hunt these sick suckers, And get them on their knees and say PRAY MOTHERF%%%%%! See this is the crux.. this is the bottom line, If they catch you doing that, then it's you that's doing time, It's never black & white, it's not easy to see.. There are so many fears, it's all part of being free. Are you scared of the dark, because that's how it began? Are you scared that it links you to the earliest man? Who had to hunt to eat, had to kill to stay alive, And did what they had to, so this race could all survive. The things to be scared of are the things inside, You can struggle and fight, but you can never run or hide, So walk down the street with your head held high, And face down fear.. because we're ALL gonna die! But the opposite of fear though.. is to be brave, Who knows how many lives you could save. The futures unknown, and we all face change, It is all just a part of being free-range.

Right now, my honey has to kill us a deer to have meat on the table and that is ok with me. I like the basic message here... I see so many talk shows based on peoples fears... so stupid...brave up indeed and face those fears. When I was a kid no one protected me and had to face those fears head on and that is the way it should be.
