  Details   DMCA

Fearful to awaken to the rigours of the day, and fearful, of the ghosts, of midnight sleep

In a world of crises, growing, ever deep.

**

Fearful for my sovereign, sacred, safe, nesting place in life

Amidst, unending angst, and scary, stress and strife.

**

Fearful of Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma and Omicron

Absent, a supra-national, virus-defeating hero, like 007 - James Bond.

**

Fearful of accelerating, life threatening, climate change

As double-minded leaders, are dangerously short-ranged, or totally estranged.

**

Fearful of the Amazon rain forest, slash-and-burn, mayhem, and wild destruction of trees

A bio-diversity hazard; depleting prized tiger-cats, dolphins, macaws and honey bees.
