The eye's fear

tears are born from anger,

anger, born from fear,

fear is born from everything,

that our knowlage is not near.

We see bravery as fearlessness,

and fearlessness as power,

and yet when time comes to it's end,

to death do we cower.

Humans fear the things they do,

because they're not sure what to do,

to run,

to hide,

to sream,

to cry,

but never do they ever try,

to understand what's beyond their eye.

Great write. The mind races right through it yet absorbs every word along the way. (Make that minor correction that asiajy pointed out; it was probably just a typo.) ~ Ronda
