Fear, The Omnipresent, Omnipotent And Omniscient

fear prevails everywhere
only its proportion differs
the all-powerful fear of
losing the crown.
the killer fears not the killed
but something that comes haunting it!
may be a dictator showed cowardice
from Hitler to Polpot
fear prevails everywhere
as it did in Hitler's concentration camps
as also in his mind
in the god's own land
both in the Jews in their xenophobia
and in the Palestinian's guns.

worshiping god is an outcome of fear
it is the fear
that has been inherited
since his evolution to this form
for a non-believing atheist
(who thinks of god more than the theist)
Or creation for a believer
all men (including women) fear death
for death is the end of all glorious life
and wages of all sins
so, they die many a time before death fearing death.
some fear fear for preventing it
fear about fear for not fearing
good or evil fear fears all
it is a communist
as it distributes equally to all
(but) supply is more when in trouble
no ideology or 'ism' is free of fear

overcome fear after it has overcome me
is nothing but to searching the boat
after it has drowned
for saving myself
what to do?
when in pain
and it is not cured, enjoy it.
fear. enjoy fear
make fear to fear
with your courage to experience it.
