Too many are so afraid of you
Because you can cause a sea of tears
A disconcerting behavior
A pandemonium of some sort
And worst yet—a command to a life’s end
They see you as a hook that seizes tranquility
And neatness of one’s well being
Into the world of make believe
Your victims suffer hallucination
And eventually leap onto barbed reality
Making your prey beg for his misery to end
If some are lucky enough to conquer you
You become a most powerful gizmo
To everyone’s daily struggle
You are sharper than any other daggers
Quicker than any other zooming bullets
Wiser than the father of Science
And even more indulgent
Than the minister of sacred creed
You can be a life source of energy
The kind of pain that brings comfort too
If they would know how to conquer you
