*GLOBAL FEAR*
Those who work are afraid
they’ll lose their jobs
Those who don’t work are afraid
they’ll never find one
Whoever doesn’t fear hunger is
afraid of eating
Democracy is afraid of remembering and
language is afraid of speaking
Civilians fear the military,
the military fears shortage of weapons
Weapons fear a shortage of wars
It is time of fear
Women’s fear of violent men and men’s fear
of fearless women
Fear of thieves, fear of the police
Fear of doors without locks,
of time without watches
Of children without television; fear of
the night without sleeping pills and day
without pills to wake up
Fear of crowds, fear of solitude
Fear what was and what could be
Fear of dying. Fear of living.
