FEAR, The Biography of


FEAR: the plague of all those alive who strive to overcome obstacles with weapons like guns and tongues; answering the call of death with a sigh of relief from worldly stress. Courage against the World and the house is stacked like a Vegas bet. FEAR: For those who attempt to overcome obstacles with weapons like guns and tongues who fought to forget the call of death -- refusing to acknowledge that their phone had rung are those whose pictures are hung in museums; known to fight til' the end like gladiators in a coliseum. Can you see them? FEAR: the presence of those who are unbending in their values, poised like statues whose eyes do not look past, but at YOU. Into the heart and throughout the soul they mend the broken without a toll, live their lives like a show in order to show the world which way to go. Did you know... FEAR: is the plague of all those alive EXCEPT those who strive to overcome obstacles with weapons unlike guns who replace their tongues with actions and only speak to explain, who seek not to maintain the status quo, but to introduce the idea of a new role for the children that doesn't require millions. FEAR: not the enemy, but yourself from accumulating too much wealth, becoming numb like the metal flying above the lands of Afghanistan. Take the hand of those farthest to you and TAKE A STAND! FEAR: not death, but living as nothing more than a brand.
