What's Worth For Fear And Favor

Fear is personal
Attacking business, you fight
Force to legal action endless 
Till resources found exhausting. 

Favor is contagious 
Blind eyes pass with fervor
Pallor recognized in sincerity
Caught off-guard along the way.

Fear is torment
But love cast evil deeds
Obscurity beyond who sees darkness
Such fearful always hinder success. 

Favor is a protector
A comfort for the mind and fervor
Least an assurance to excellence
A sweet wine to drink for thirsty. 

Fear oppose favor
Yet, you can manage both with ease
It's a matter of whom you apply the most
For your own good and lifestyle worth.
