Gotta Love That Fear

Hmm...

Gotta love that fear

Gotta love that triple-tier lock

Blocking your two-story bedroom window

From all the different and unique people

Attempting to have a conversation with you

Aww, yeah.

Gotta love that fear

Gotta love that Fox News

Giving you new ways to hate other cultures

Buying apples in the grocery store

Wearing turbans or wheelchairs

Ooh, yeah.

Always goes good with salt

Gotta love that inability to speak out

And express your own artistic self

Because of all the better people making sure

You're not worth the world's while

Yep.

Gotta love that fear

Gotta love that regretful feeling

Of not racing out

Into the streets and fields

Shouting to the skies

Wondering what happened

To our infinitely capable

And completely selfless humanity

Gotta love that f*****g fear.

"Fear of a name ...something something... fear itself." - Hermione Granger Chamber of Secrets. Other than me not remembering the quote, I like this poem.
