**im afraid.
Of the owls that hoots at night.
The crows thats crows at day.
The witchcraft that dances at dawn.
and makes celebrations a place to mourn**


<Hr>
<Hr>


**Im afraid
of the hate that lives in men.
and the wickedness that owns a castle in them**


<Hr>
<Hr>


**Im afraid.
Of the blackness that adorns my skin.
Im afraid of bullets that kisses men in white.
but penetrates children with a skin so black**


<Hr>
<Hr>


**Im afraid of man's desires to touch the sun.
the technology that experiments existence.
the quest to build a blast.
that erase the earth**

<Hr>
<Hr>


**Im afraid.
Of the sound of war.
that takes away life with joy.
and squezes humanity into despondency**


<Hr>
<Hr>


**Im afraid.
Of the tempest at sea.
And the earthquake on land**

<Hr>
<Hr>



**Im afraid of deception.
That dwells in the mouth of presidents.
Promising equity and justic.
Yet they are the task masters of poverty**

**Im afraid.
Of the future.
It is so tipsy and uncertain.
And brings fear to the heart**


<Hr>
<Hr>

It is written in the holy scriptures... "thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the destruction that wasteth at noon day..."

Its a great poem, it reveals the innermost fears of man.

A poem that begins by evoking the night and its animals that symbolize fear. 
Critique of the materialism of racism and man-made wars.
However one must not be afraid of nature because it is not hard enough and brutal that man. Upvoted and followed

Very well written even though the content makes you feel bad it makes you think at the same time.
