When fear entered us
Tore us apart
When fear entered us
Tore us apart
Shattered kinship
Diminished relationship
Raised walls
Ignored cycles
When fear entered us
We clung to it as the only reality
Accommodated our needs
Domesticated ourselves
We tore up the possibilities of inter-being
So imprisoned are we
We keep shredding and desacralising Life
Just to feel safe
Opening deep and vast holes
Through where affinities and symbioses pour away
And from where we extract rigid convictions
But fear remains
Voracious and deafening
The amnesia of how to participate in Life stays
Dread and insecurity persist
When fear entered us
Pain and grief also continued to consume
And to silence them
We aggrandised ourselves
Deluded about our glory
Flaunting our intelligence
The one that brought the mirage of stable comfort and security
But the disenchantment of lost relationships
Hasn’t faded
For when fear entered us
We lost ourselves.
