Fear is the enemy of Justice, the enemy of Hope, the enemy of Creativity. It has no power when we rise up, speak up, act up, and bring our truth into the world. Fear haunts the world, a demon given flesh through hate, war, and inaction Fear hunts the world, a killer of light not a bringer of darkness denying, refusing, holding back. Brittle and lost broken and alone it brings nothing together but impassibly collects. Shattered by a smile Healed in a loving gaze Forgotten in action Transformed into strength.
