Occasionally one may feel fear's fast grip But let us not be governed by its restrictive embrace So the fear of death may not control our actions May the fear of living never penetrate our minds, And depart from whoever's in which it resides Let the fear of our temporary state scare us not Let the fear of the uncertainty of our tomorrow govern us not Rather, let it's constant ******* at our heel motivate us Motivate us to believe in the abilities we have, And to learn new ones as well Motivate us to reach heights inconceivable to those whose minds and hearts have not been freed Heights which only a man freed may attain A man freed of the darkness that inhabits everyone's soul Freed of the fear of the unknowable nature of our futures that consumes us all Embracing that fear so he can transcend death, And be remembered beyond the many years he will grace this earth Remembered for the heights he reached Remembered for the people he chose to lead up to join him Because he did not succumb to the malice of condescension But was a Sherpa to the uninitiated Giving these freed minds a new perspective That they may soar to unimagined places To which they will lead him and us in train Perpetuating the chain of incredible events Till we can finally reach our Elysian dreams Started, not by a people of untold knowledge and wealth, But by the one who decided to live without fear
