FEAR AND LOVE: A contrastive study

	Fear is the fabric of torn cobwebs,
	and thorns of doubt which tear and shred;
	It is walls of worry which make us dead,
	as well as the rusty valves of doubt 
	clogging our heads.

	Love is like radiant photons
	piercing past all paltry threads;
	it is like deep ocean waves
	through which distant shoals
	by warm currents are laved.

	Fear makes people cautious 
	and keep strangers at bay,
	but love proclaims miracles 
	manifest in countless ways.
