Fear
Like a thief in the night
Creeps into our minds
Like a cry of the heavens
Fills our eyes with tears
Like the moisture on a leaf
Profusely sweating we are left
Like the accelerator of a car
Sets us in unceasing motion
Haunted by unknown
Rise in haste to know
Like the labour of an expectant woman
Eagers to see it come to ebb
Like the awaiting result student
Eagers to see himself pass
Like a wicked father
Doesn't want to see his children proper
Nobody is left out in this
We are all haunted by fear
One time or another
But some give in to it
While some others stand up to it
Defeating it in the process.
