Fear

Of extreme acts of bravery we often read of and hear
But is there one living who is free of all fear
And though the praises of those who are brave the masses do sing
For our very survival fear is a necessary thing

Some fear helps us to keep living from day to day
Without it we would not survive long in truth one can say
Those who live without fear usually do not live long
Though they may be honored in story and song

Most students of human behavior believe that fear to the ego is tied
That for the ego to live it needs some fear on it's side
This does ring of truth would you not agree
At least anyhow it surely does to me

Those without fear are of the few
And this is not saying anything that is new
A necessity of life one does need to survive
It is good to be fearful and healthy and alive.
