Scared

Scared by Odin Roark Fear saved the fly The spider wept Fear kept men alive While Napalm paved the way Fear keeps the 1% insulated Handlers and mental bodyguards At their beckon call The mongrel on Manhattan’s frozen streets Knows well the virtue of fear Yet Never will we see our species Handle being scared like an animal Where the lesser evolution will defend We the sentient superiors will think only offense How beautiful How heart wrenching0 The defense elephants Rhinos Big cats Exert to protect only that Which is their province Their instinctual responsibility Wanting not to harm the perp But only to ward off the aggression Escape to safer surroundings. Why does man feel he must instigate aggression To justify his superiority? Why do we continue our behavior Moving science Technology Mind set Ever closer to android resolve? Might we be so complacently satisfied We ignore the advances of AI? Are we really so consumed with the media clap trap We’re becoming more and more ignorant of information Vet proof stats that tell us Wake up And yet To sit in a quiet attic Observe the simple Yet perfectly designed survival Instinct of the spider Is to become aware It’s all about living in harmony Not acrimony Wait patient spider What you need for another day of survival Is but waiting Love nature Or perish
