Fear

You have strange abilities to destroy
And innate and strong powers to divide.
Many people have seen their lives lost of joy
Due to the pains you have caused vast and wide.
You are a sickness in society
Stopping at nothing to enforce your will,
Filling people with deep anxiety,
And driving others to brutally kill.
Many know your name of pure obstinance
And refuse to acknowledge your presence.
They will not look at you for one swift glance,
And fight when you’re around to find pleasance.
For you are fear, and while few test your way,
I am your one true foe and will not sway.
