FEAR WITHOUT LOATHING

Bet on Fear, it’s a sure thing
Renewable and inexhaustible
The moving shadow at the edge of our campfire
The unknown sound in the middle of the night

If it’s not hate-filled Muslims
Child predators
Catholic priests
Male-pattern baldness
Impotence
Germ-laden hotel carpets
Identity theft
Credit card fraud
Computer viruses
E. coli
SARS
Avian flu
Arthritis
Discolored teeth & foul breath

It will be some old Fear made new
Trumpeted on the Tube
Echoing on the radio dial
Be afraid
Very afraid
