The Promotion Of Fear

In a political or a religious run State not that much difference it would appear
As they both base their power on the medium of fear
Keeping people fearful assures them of staying in command
The reason for this not hard to understand
Fear of being murdered by a bomber or of your soul going to hell
Two well promoted fears that always seem to work well
For political and religious leaders promotiing fear seems to pay
Fear of god and terrorism we hear of every day
As if following their advice our spot in heaven and freedom of terrorism would be a guarantee
Some people are quite naive and gullible is how it seems to be
By political and religious leaders their promotion of fear is over abused
To maintain their grip on power such verbal tactics by them used
Fear of god and bad people capable of heinous crime
With their gullible followers seem to work everytime.
