Brian McDonagh May 2018
It’s not a command
But an imperative instruction:
“Don’t worry, don’t fear!”
When fear enters a place,
The greater sin is on the ones who fear
Rather than on the ones who are being feared.
Fear is a test; though not a thrill to be a part of,
We fail if we do not rise against fear in some way,
Even as just an attempt.
Direct harm is the evil of the trespasser,
But remaining idle is of the onlooker and witness
And those with kinetic potential.
"We have nothing to fear but fear itself."   ~Franklin D. Roosevelt
Also, credit is due to a friend of mine who reminded me to keep trying to
push troubles aside as there are many and I am only one.
