What would we do without fears

in a society that is fears geared

for instillment's thrills of the ride

from day of birth until day of death?

It will do to name a few:

fears of rejection

fears of failing

fears of objections

fears of dying

fears of living

fears of even trying.

What would we do without fears?

Cease to exist as cattle

who are domesticated

placated and sedated

in chewing the cud of ignorance

that is the sum of all our fears

and witness our true birth

into the realm of cognizance

unleashed from the shackles

set free from prisons of the mind

as Free Thinking Human Beings

without need of governance's

Elite of any fashion, form, or kind ...
