The Fear Phantom Poem by John Sensele

Fear fossilizes opportunities
Open to risk takers
Whose sense of duty in financial cities
Transforms them into trillion dollar makers.

Fear delays, waylays and slays relationships
Breeding mistrust, wielding rust
Breaking down friendships
Gregarious hearts value and trust.

Fear blocks and chokes paths to success
Engendering images of mean monsters
Who fear claims pounce on progress
That transmutes simpletons into superstars.

Fear reveres a risk averse mentality
That prevents a bevy of blokes
From venturing into hospitality
Business armed with a few bucks, ideas, spoons and forks.
