card-

 

how do you drop your fear 

they say 

they say it must be done 

each day

each hour  minute  sec 

it seems 

must flush it

from the world of dreams

 

but what about tomorrow 

as demands are sure to come 

and what about the children 

and old age we're running from

who can deny necessity

for the basics shelter food

who in heaven's name  my friend

can criticize our mood

 

but still they go on saying

it's fear that you must drop

they say to love your neighbour 

appreciate your lot
