fear
comes as a spider
weaving its threads
of conspiracies and lies
into a web just waiting
to snare us while it slowly
creeps toward us to suck
all our humanity out of us.
fear
sounds like those ancient sirens
sitting just on the
edge of our journey
through these difficult times,
singing sweet, alluring songs
hoping to lure us from
staying the course towards
compassion, justice, and hope.
fear
is a decaying past
we are told we need
to keep alive at all costs,
no matter how damaging
it was to so many people.
so,
may we take you deep
into our hearts and souls
that we might not trust fear
more than we trust you.
