Know Fear
You understand what you like
basically, you know what you want to know
and what you don't know
maybe you just don't want to know
if you want to know about something
you'd learn all about it
you can never know too much
what you don't know
might as well not be factual
so it's either fiction or feared
and you certainly have fears
fears burrowed into your mind
fears you continuously avoid
fears that inhibit progress
unaddressed fears grow with age
to be forever at war with the unknown
it doesn't have to be that way
get to know your fears intimately
and you will have no fear

Insightful, I think this is well written and a great perspective on fear and overcoming it...

Jack, it would be my pleasure to discuss the dark realities of today's society with a like minded guy such as yourself. Send me a pm and I'll give you my Facebook info...I'm on there just about everyday.
