Living Over Fear

A part of the Bible describes us as gods I guess that’s why Samson could push walls and bend rods Moses could divide seas with a stick And none of the elements dared to speak. These are great stories of great men And forgive me if I forget the tale of the lion’s den. The major thing these men conquered was fear Which is one thing we fail to realize puts us in the rear. Take a second to critically think, Trust me I did so before putting this to ink Your parents overcame fear for you to be born Knowing that they’ll live their lives with a daughter or a son Who might be a lawyer or a pharmacist Or maybe a pain in the **** drug addict You won’t be wrong to say fear is in our human genes But to be a god, you have to be more than just a human being Fear might be the difference between defeat and victory At least that’s something I’ve learnt from legends and history
