The Fear of Pain

The Fear of Pain

The bird drifts through wind.

as it sings a song of life to its kin.

While crying out brave words

in hopes of being heard.

The rapids run through the rushing river,

leaving destruction

and making animals quiver.

The rodents run and hide

as the lion roars to show its Pride.

In the end nothing is safe.

The world feels a need to take.

We can choose to sit and ponder,

or take a stand and help the world to not go under.
