Do you fear gazing into
the eyes of evil,
and freeze when you
realize it looking into
your eyes
Do you fear getting old
and wrinkled, or the image of
your mirror as you pass it by?
Do you fear the knock on your
door at night, a loved one,
a cop,or perhaps a bad guy?
Do you fear loneliness
as each day passes
by, you feel the heartache
and ask yourself why?
Do you fear the unknown
walking at night,
afraid someone may kill you,
then you'll die
Do you fear failure
while sitting on
your behind, fooling yourself
into thinking your
fear is Just a lie
Do you fear that
aliens are walking
amongst us,
and that they
are here to just multiply
Do you fear
happiness will never
find your door
so you look for it
everywhere, but in
your own eyes
Tell me why fear?
Why let fear
take you for a ride!
Don't let it control you;
take a grip of the demon
and refuse to
let it control you

Is there really that much fear around??? Not for me I aasure you and I don't think i'm at all exceptional in that respect.
The demons you mention are created by demon makers like the ones who teach children to live in fear of god,... and then go on to confuse by saying god is the god of love (which must be true). Yep, fear is an evil created by organised religions.. an original sin.
Many types of fears abound, fear of water, germs, spiders, heights! The fear is within ourselves, that Is the demon which I speak of, thanks for your comment and read
there is not a single thing that I knowingly fear .. I do dread the thought however of any of my family, friends or those I hold dear ever suffering, or being in pain ...
I also tend to believe that as a species, we have a tendency to avoid, or 'fear' the unknown ...
I did enjoy and understand your poem today though and it reminded me a little of something I scribbled many years ago about how we collectively perceive certain things .....

Thank you kindly, yes the unknown! I fear walking alone at night! So many unknowns out there!
Take Care
............................................................................................................................. Dont go out walking alone
No , No, but once upon a time I had night shift and walking to car, was not fun!
just you be careful young lady .. ya hear ..

I think once you wrestle with the fear of death and come to realize that it isn't that bad then all the other fears will be much much less.
Not sure why people fear death, maybe they just want to live a longer life! Or afraid of hell!
Thanks for stopping by
Fear is not something I have, all is at peace in my world
“ Do you fear getting old
and wrinkled, or the image of
your mirror as you pass it by? “

*Hows Your Leader coping with COVID 19 ?*
How come so many catholics (your brand of christianity) admit to having been brought up to fear god as educated by your church..... which one of youy is lieing?
ANGELA HERE - Good Afternoon DA - Thanks for your conundrum ! Its all a matter of semnatics. My Parents are Catholics and I was raised a a Devout Catholic (Brian is an Evangelical) and I was taught that *The FEAR of GOD* was NOT being AFRAID of GOD - BUT - *Having a deep Respect for GOD and being Awe of Gods Power & Authority !* A FEAR of GOD led Me to Love Him & NOT be afraid of HIM - AMEN. The same is true of the other Persons of the TRINITY - JESUS who loved us enough to DIE to redeem us from our Sins. We also LOVE the HOLY SPIRIT ! The first *Fruit of the Holy Spirit* is LOVE. I loved all the Leaders of the Church and I was raised in London by a Loving Catholic Family. In the same Way Brian was raised in Liverpool in a Loving Evangelical Family and taught to Love & Respect the Trinity. The majority of people in the UK in the 21st Century do not respect God or the Scriptures (Bible) and consider Christianity & Judaism to be antiquainted & outmoded & mythical ! Those of us who are *Believers* find our Faith gives us great Joy & Peace in a time of COVID 19 Turmoil - AMEN. Brian & I are Members of An Evangelical Church and my Parents have attended Services and are Hapy about that !
Love JOY & PEACE to YOU & YOURS
Angela & Brian & Smokey ! ! !
Thanks Angela, a man once tried breaking into my window, I was a Pre-teenager at the time, luckily He was too drunk, but he did move on to next house and broke their patio door! So yes, I fear being alone at night!
PS I added a series of haikus
Best to you
'Do you fear the unknown
walking at night,
afraid someone may kill you,
then you'll die'
a tad bleak at times, I think... lol,
still a good write full of thought provoking observations and I applaud its positive message, in this year of poisonous uncertainty and festering divisive mentality's
Thanks Mek, this was definitely an old written piece, or I might have included
Fear of getting COVID-19!
Yes, that was pretty intense, being a women
One never knows, if a rapist, or thief lurks about! I took a self defense class! Once! I thought if I wore loose baggie clothes it wouldn’t attract a man! Now , I read not to wear loose clothes, because they can grab you easier! The same with pony tails!
Anyhow thanks for stopping by!
