Fear of the Unknown
The fear of the unknown:
Is it a love of routine?
Or is it avoidance
Of the everyday unseen?
Things we cannot avoid,
That our language does not name:
Outside cause and effect,
Forces that we cannot blame.
These things have always
been,
But they aren’t really a thing.
For things, words are needed:
Reality’s what words bring.
The fear of the unknown
Is desire to survive.
It may be misleading,
Or it may cause us to thrive.
Is it a love of routine?
Or is it avoidance
Of the everyday unseen?
That our language does not name:

Forces that we cannot blame.
But they aren’t really a thing.
For things, words are needed:
Reality’s what words bring.
Is desire to survive.
It may be misleading,
Or it may cause us to thrive.
