F E A R – False Expectations Appearing Real

Its objective is to inspire people to live with courage and not be stressed, worried and anxious. It encourages people to follow the applicable rules, guidelines laid down by the government wherever t

The whole world is in panic

The whole world is in fear!

They don’t know what the truth is 

But they are zapped with what they hear 

A virus has attacked us! 

It is going to wipe out the world! 

It is going to kill us all…

Through the media, we are told

Is it a danger, is it real? 

Or is this just a myth? 

As long as we live in fear

We will never realize the truth

Of course, it has killed thousands 

And it’s mainly the old

The young will mostly get away, 

With a fever, cough and cold

The Coronavirus is a champion

It seems to have a tactic

Though many it appears to infect 

But for some, it is asymptomatic

Therefore, we don’t know the numbers 

Who are actually killed by the virus 

There are many with heart and lung disease 

Are they dying because of this?

The whole world is in panic

They think of COVID they will die 

They have locked themselves in their houses 

Unable to enjoy the sky

Of course, we must take precautions 

And stay away from one with a cough 

But to shut down the entire world 

That is way off!

Fear is the cause of this panic

It is making a mountain of a molehill 

Far more than the Coronavirus

It is Fear that will kill

F E A R is False Expectations Appearing Real 

The mind creates this thought

But once paralyzed by this panic 

In anxiety we are caught

Why are we scared, why do we fear?

Why are humans given this gift? 

God gave us this instinct for a reason 

From real dangers, so we can drift 

There are many types of fears

Some even fear a loud sound

Some fear to go up in the sky

Some fear a lizard on the ground!

Fear often grows into a phobia 

An irrational fear of something

Dentophobia is a fear of the dentist 

And claustrophobia, a crowd of anything 

Some have zoophobia �" fear of animals, 

Some arachnophobia �" fear of spiders 

With aerophobia, there is fear of flying 

And cyberphobia - fear of computers 

Finally, the question that matters most 

Is fear actually real?

Fear is not a danger, fear doesn’t kill 

It’s just an Expectation that Appears Real

But when fear attacks us

And fills our body and mind

The rascal makes us suffer

And makes our life a grind

Fear is not a danger

There is a difference in these two 

A danger can attack us

But fear just makes us feel blue 

The consequence of fear is tremendous 

It can bring our life to a halt

It can stop our intellect from thinking 

By just finding fault

What is the cause of fear?

This killer is caused by our mind 

It makes us see what is not

In anxiety, makes us blind

But there is a way to overcome it 

With courage and with hope

We must wipe out every thought of worry 

Then with stress and panic we will cope

But the first step is to wipe out 

Ignorance from the mind

To differentiate the mind from the intellect 

Both are of a different kind

The intellect can discriminate

It can realize the truth

We must ask questions and investigate 

Till we get to the bottom of the root 

It is important to flip our life over 

From NEP flip to PEP

From negative emotions to positive emotions 

From poison to power, step by step 

After all, life is a drama

On the earth stage, it’s just a show 

We are all actors in this theatre 

We come, but we must go

Nobody can escape death

Life is in somebody else’s hand

There is a power we can’t comprehend 

That created the sky and land

Because we fear we will die

We live with such panic

We get scared of a virus

That’s truly tragic!

Fear can lock us in prison

Fear can shut life’s door

Fear can frighten us to no end

Drilling into our core

The biggest Fear is that of death 

Loss of all that is known

And then a greater fear still

What is beyond death, unknown

But Fear will make us suffer

Fear will make us sad

We must learn to overcome it

If again we want to be glad

There is a way to overcome

The ignorance caused by fear

It happens with Realization of the Truth 

Not going by what we hear

We must ask and investigate

How real is our fear

Is it actually a danger

That’s coming very near?

Fear is an illusion

But is powerful and can kill

It can paralyze our entire life

And stop us from doing our will

Today, fear more than ever before 

Has made the world come to a stop 

In panic, stress, and anxiety

Forced people to shut their shop 

Of course, the virus will kill a few 

But all of us eventually must die 

If not because of this virus

Something else will send us to the sky 

So why be in panic of the virus? 

We must realize the cause is fear 

False Expectations Appearing Real 

Is truly causing us dear

The economic crisis that is being caused 

Is far greater than the virus

But fear is making us blind to the truth 

And going in the wrong direction, in stress 

Fear is making us blind

We can’t see the truth that is plain, 

It’s projecting illusions that are fake 

And will cause the world to be slain.

It’s time to realize what fear is doing 

And kill it before it kills us

The virus will come, and the virus will go 

But fear must not destroy us

If we remain ignorant of our ignorance 

And live with fear and stress

Every such virus that comes in life 

Will make our life a mess
