FEAR OF THE FEARLESS
The fear of the fearless
Huge and tall
Fearful and powerful
Broad and wide
Indispensable personality
Politically stable
Socially relevant
Economically dependable
Oppressors of the feeble
The fearless, we call them
The powerful, we mutter
The economist, they call themselves
Wicked as devil himself
The fearless, yet fearful
Powerful, yet powerless
Economists, yet broke
Wicked but scared
Assassination, there duty
Cheating, there day in day out activities
Oppression, there number one attribute
Yet, they are themselves oppressed
The fear of the fearless
The day of irresistible sleep
The journey of no return
The go and no more call
Thou fearless, yet fearful
Scared of the day unknown
Panic always about the eternity
The fearless also fears.
