Kakorrhaphiophobia.

A Poem by Thomas Fitzgerald
"

Just short note - I hope you enjoy!

"

I can’t be this forever for you ingrates,

Clever ideas never cease to underwhelm you,

Be warned a fool’s leader seldom stays put,

Relax for death knows those idiotic few!

A flamboyant, feverish, enraged man is at the throats of the unappreciative crowds after all of what they have seen of talent and astonishment, the jealous ones. They cannot be pleased, they boast with gaudy austereness. But fools they are for a day will come where you get to look at them at the back of your heel, them biting your unforgiving dust. And after the rage comes a rigid threat. And a fool is he who ignores such a call. Yet why is it named fear of failure. Perhaps he has been beaten down for so long that he could no longer take it and ultimately lashes out. I did the best I could. My dear friend you are a brilliant poetic, literary mind, and whoever sees you unfit is indeed a foolish ingrate. Salutes with honor.

Fear? I don't read it in your poetry, but this is a thought provoking read.

This sounds like it has been around for centuries - like the punchline to an Aesops fable. Its very wise writing Thomas.

I don`t detect much fear in this diatribe, Tom!....except maybe your fear that you are not communicating your message? ....the whole piece seems to shout "I`m right! Listen!" I think this is aimed politically. P.

Indeed it is, thank you
Four lines to wrap my head around. A release of anger, the title suggests fear also, of failure? I looked it up. an 'unreasonable fear of failure' was what the dictionary says. anger.. unreasonable fear... God you make the sparks fly in my brain as the circuits overheat and short out! But that's okay; my mind can always use a little stretching. :P

I like this. It has a certain anger to it. It reminded me of Gabriel's oft vitriolic rants. But I could not ascertain a fear of defeat?
