Fear of the Unknown
Fear overrides all other senses
A fear of the unknown and undiscovered
This emotion knocks down all defenses
But to persevere now is to conquer
A short trip, filled with second thoughts and doubt
Arrival brings a falter in courage
Fear brings about complete mental blackout
Bravely, fear is surpassed, replaced with rage
Carefully grasping the animal brings
Poison or nectar, though which is unknown
Gathering strength, spreading bravery’s wings
The liquid consumed, bravery is shown
What sweet jubilation this heifer brings
A sweet liquid with no consequences
