Life of Fear

From China came mystery seed,
how much fear they did breed.

Fear hampers success and innovation,
fears can often lead to stagnation.
Fear our happiness does restrain
out of fear we endure pain.

Most fears are baseless,
probability of others is very less.
We often fear the unknown,
such fears are best overthrown.

If we face our fear,
they might just disappear.
Negative mind harbours fear,
faith in God does end fear.
