A Legacy Of Fear Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

A Legacy Of Fear

Rating: 5.0


Would you rather die
than be embarrassed

Rather destitute
than shamed

Would you rather set your heart on fire,
than barter out your name

Does your reputation matter,
will your legacy endear

Does what others think,
release the pain

That haunts
—and drives your fear

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September,2019)

No one likes to setup life in fire. Pain should be released and fear should be removed. An excellent poem is very nicely penned and shared.
