truth

The fear that bred
The fear that led
The fear that ate us all-
It reached on down
Searched all around
With putrid fangs so small-
It found a way
We did obey
It crushed us all to bits-
As clear as night
The clearest fight
Left no souls in our midst-
The blood ran cold
And age got old
There’s nothing we couldo-
We stood ashamed
None that remained
Could softly lead us through-
Another search
We are in a luh
Where did the courage go?-
It fled
They said
Then perished…
