I am afraid

I am afraid of the future 

because I do not know 

I am afraid of my species 

because they are not I 

I am afraid of I 

I don’t know who I is 

…ok not to be narcissistic 

fear of love

because it can’t be controlled 

fear of America 

because it is not what’s declared 

fear of Africa 

because resources matter more 

fear of Europe 

because clout matters more 

fear of Asia 

because perception… sigh 

I can’t go on 

sometimes I have to stay 

sometimes I have to go 

a traveler’s heart 

still a farmer too 

a lover too 

a brother too 

and a old fart too 

…ok not to go off track… 

I admit 

I am afraid 

I also admit 

I am courageous 

I admit I do not know 

I also want to know 

I admit that I am wrong 

I apologize… 

I admit that I love 

I also unfortunately cause pain
