He Fears the Bogeyman

Love's light beams from the hearts and souls of Man but His insecurities shade its glow. And in shadows, hate and bigotry grow; though Man's conscience interjects when it can. But, like a child, He fears the bogeyman; facing repercussions, He lets hope go. Scared of storms, He revels in the rainbow; convincing Himself that it is God's plan. Evil overshadows the light of good; anonymity merges with the dark. And accepting truths, tethered to rumors, we mesh with the system as robots would. Yet, the love in Man needs only a spark, to exorcise fear's cancerous tumors.

I have always had a thought that if we could throw off all negative thinking, and only allow goodness and love into our hearts, not only would we conquer cancer, but also Aids, wars, prejudice, and all other things that need the darkness of closed selves to survive. This one is a keeper. A FAV for me, my friend.
