another poem I wrote in college when in a melancholic mood
Fear
The darkest night
The hottest day
The fiery pit of hell

No one likes the idea of hell
And who can blame them
Always try to avoid it
Never want to talk about it
Nightmare of the population

Terror of entire nations
People always try to spread it
Always try to calm yourself
Never let it get to you
Armies taken overseas

Bombs exploding everywhere
Losing lives to the enemy
They think they’re winning
But one battle at a time
We show them how the big boys do it

Fear
The coldest heart
The darkest sea
The biggest meanest dog
The barrel of the gun

The feeling that you’re looking into it
Fear
The sharpest teeth
The reddest eyes
The bloodiest death

Blue and the grey
The dark red uniforms
To symbolize the death
Of an entire army
In one small battle

All caused by ignorance
And fear
The only fear worth having,
Is that of fear itself
To know that fear is opposite

Of having the faith in life
Of having faith in God
