The evolution of fear

The Evolution of Fear


Failure
Epic failure-

The type of which you must claw your way from sunken stone in mud-
To reach the higher ground

where natural opalesque
light

Is visible, yet again.
More beautiful than previously seen.

That is how we know we’ve lived a life at all~
For those who live too carefully-

that they haven’t failed epically~
Have never lived at all,

And to those who have never loved epically, selflessly-
Painfully,

And to those who live superficially, esthetically, materially~
Have never lived at all.

Won’t you go?
No, won’t you just stay?
What are you doing, why?
I must leave..
Maybe I’ll stay and sit awhile?

Question’s we ask out of fear,
we are primal animals-

Capable of remembering now
The source of our discontentment, although

fear is supposed to leave after it is confronted,
And that is our evolution of fear, or rather de-evolution of fear.

We as a society cannot let go
That’s why we have wars’, hate crimes’, divorces’, poverty, religion, etc etc etc.

The benefits of failure;
Are seen as you are, standing there at the threshold of life~

( Jumping headfirst in,
Not feet first- if you are infact alive)

This social slope where fear has always ruled,
as a determinant of existence,

As a parenthesis of the base of creation of ancient religion-
and of all that we’ve ever know~

And of what we weigh our value against in this plain, popularity, the source is fear-
I find it is often paradoxical of the equitoxic.

Though I would like to make it clear in parenthesis-
That I do not blame the world for its point of view.

For seeing our dizzying flaws-

As diamonds in the buff-

If we could only we as a species be so subjective, so broad-
To see this universal view too.

-See that indulging fear is only a slow death
from birth (if we allow it).

And in death

our greatest fears we always
felt-

Aren’t met anyways~
