i cannot turn on the tv

I cannot turn on the TV,
I cannot open my web browser,
I cannot pick up a newspaper or a magazine, 
and I cannot go out into public, 
without hearing some form of Fear being spread.

Fear is a virus, 
and everyone that is infected feels this inherent urge to share and propagate.
Although everyone may differ on exact ideology
they all maintain the principle of Fear,
Fear of the Unknown, 
or Fear of what’s Different. 

I don’t have to go far to find one afraid.
Even the broadest shouldered man 
could shiver my bones with tales of conspiracies.. 
and even the shiniest aura’d man 
could shiver my spirit with prophecies of the armageddon…

*

Give me the company of those joyous,
and fearful only when 
fear becomes the only thing left…
