FEAR by Tom Jensen
My fear is my friend
So long we’ve been together
From the beginning
Until the very end
Some call it other names
Play their silly games
Pretend they’re still the same
Though facts remain unchanged
You’re hearing two voices
Coming from different places
With two opposite choices
As you find yourself now facing
A separation of church and state
In this case it’s your logic and faith
One is gone the other’s been misplaced
Lying in ruins and laid to waste
Yet it takes dialogue and not debate
To make whole again this fractured state
We need common ground not lines in the sand
For unity to be found in our fellow man
With this goal in mind we must forge ahead
While biding our time with our feet on the ledge
Tight to our toes lies a precipitous drop
But with our backs to the wall we cannot stop
The daylight is dwindling
As darkness draws near
Every path towards escape
Has circled back here
I’m not alone…
It’s my friend who comforts me…
Fear
My fear is my friend
