Fear

Fear came to me on doomsday From here and there it was running away I found it odd that fear was so frightened Usually by harassing others were its days brightened How did it lose its spark I wondered I kept fathoming over its new form bewildered Fear looked too old all of a sudden In its heart was hidden a bulky burden It approached me without any hope left I could feel of intensity it was bereft Shattered to its core it melted on my threshold Filled with pity were the emotions I did behold Fear sobbed with pain and told me its story Only for some years was it destined to hold glory It had spent it youth harassing everyone Meanwhile time was plucking its feathers one by one Ageing with time, it was reaching its tomb Fear expressed its wish to have remained in its mother's womb It breathed its last and I could hear the pin drop silence The world was given back its right to excellence
