The Fear of Fear

All face death each and every day yet,
we fear Nuclear Wars, none have power to stop death.
We fear sickness and the fact we could die,
we seem to fear all except the fact, you will die.
If you live your life in fear then you are not living,
Criminals depend on the fear of man giving them,
The power over you by your fears.
People fear guns but the guns are not what kills,
People fear politics giving them power over you.
We are born with fear because of lack of trust,
If you trust mankind you will always have fear.
Asteroids hitting the earth, earth quakes, Aliens,
For outer space, food shortages and so on.
All fears disappear after death so why,

Do you fear now?
