Fear is the weapon
once used to torment my soul.
It's a silent weapon
much quieter than a blade
yet it's as loud and horrendous
as field artillery.

Fear is the weapon
that had been injected
into my blood
by a man I once called a mentor.
He wielded it like a club
and brought it down on my head
with the force strong enough
to crush a thousand skulls.

Fear is the weapon
that acts like a nuke.
The blast and flames will dissipate
but the polluted aftermath
will NEVER disappear...
