Fear cannot live
on its own.
It needs support
to be felt and known.
***
It needs a mind
to exaggerate its use.
It needs a heart
to strengthen its fuse.
***
It needs a human
to put it to task.
It needs a future
in which to bask.
***
It needs a hand
to tremble in its face.
It needs a lip
to quiver in its base.
***
Alone it will dissipate
into its false identity.
It'll be mocked and taunted
And treated as nonentity.
***
So, why do you allow
to be overtaken,
and leave your courage
alone and forsaken?
***
Why in your goals
do you allow it to rule?
Ans cower in its trickery,
Why, old fool?
***
Child, without you
tis fear cannot live.
So why do you offer
your services to give?
