Learn to fear every trace, tread and track

Even someone with a police plaque

Because everything might go a tar dark black

You’ll end up buried off a nondescript dirt track

Just another insignificant needle in a haystack

Pray you’re found but with just a little greenback

The cornor will say it was a heart attack

Without fear of being accused for slack

And the only thing your family will get back

Is a little graveyard plaque

Learn to fear when you need a direction

The first thing they’ll see is your complexion

While you hope they won’t meet your expectation

You are expected to avoid detection

While being subject to inspection

Of your lack of affection

Nothing offers protection

from the Ripper’s projection

That your obvious imperfection

Could be solved by a dissection 

Learn to fear this world of hostility

Don’t show your vulnerability

They’ll call it a disability

They’ll treat you as a utility

You’ll lose stability

With little flexibility

With only one possibility

To fight...pointlessly

Learn to fear the unspoken lesson

We are taught that any question

Expression

Confession

Can and will be met with aggression 

And treated as a transgression

Learn to fear respect

It’s become another word for expect

We are expected to be incorrect

Are expected to be subject

Expected to be adept

To be inept

Learn to fear who they see

We become who they expect us to be

But In the end

we were never free

Learn to fear everyone

Something we learn from day one

Learn to fear
