We all think of fear as an instinct;
an energy to protect us from harm;
allow me to be completely succinct;
fear is not a type of alarm.
Fear is the principle competing force;
the antonym of faith and love.
Fear is the power behind all divorce,
of a spouse, or the Master, above.
Fear is a lack of understanding;
the limitless power, backing His Love.
“Fear not!” the Master’s commanding;
what is a child of the King afraid of?
Fear is knowledge and ignorance, combined;
when together, they obviate trust.
Faith is the omnipotence, the Master designed;
for only the Master is just.
Faith is thought blind; sees only the rose;
but, with it, a child is born.
Fear ignores the beauty, love imposed;
and focuses more on the thorn.
Fear is the religion that negates God;
creating a world, filled with disgrace;
considering its effects; it seems odd;
to encourage evil, to take God’s place.
A mind filled with fear, is unable to trust;
we think all others, want what we’ve got;
such thinking makes it hard to adjust.
God says, “I am”; fear says, “You’re not.”
