Part of the reason that the government's fear mongering is succeeding is because so many people are so ignorant, that it is easier for government to frighten people in submission.

People will frighten you about a graduation....They use words you don't hear often... 'And we wish you Godspeed.' It is a warning, Godpeed. It means you are no longer welcome here at these prices.

The Cruise missiles do not frighten anyone. We are catching them like fish in a river. I mean here that over the past two days, we managed to shoot down 196 missiles before they hit their target.

Whisky the truth seeker

Took a shot of whisky
No a lot to kill me

Sensors,
Were heightened
But not frighten

Visions were slow
But to show
The reflections of a broken man

Past is shown to the man
All thanks the whisky,
The seeker of truth for the broken man.

The Future

The future: time's excuse
to frighten us; too vast
a project, too large a morsel
for the heart's mouth.

Future, who won't wait for you?
Everyone is going there.
It suffices you to deepen
the absence that we are.

Translated by A. Poulin

You frighten a lot of scientists. If they say that climate is not changing, they lose their research grants. And some people cannot afford that; they become silent, or a few of us speak up, because we think that it's for the honesty of science, that we have to do it.

Chirp

Budding storms frighten
foetal petal waiting sun,
sparrows' chirps brighten

Sweeping storm frightens
foetal petal waiting sun, -
Sparrow’s chirp brightens...

So as a prince is forced to know how to act like a beast, he must learn from the fox and the lion; becouse the lion is defenceless against traps and the fox is defenceless against wolves. Therefore one must be a fox in order to recognise traps and lion to frighten off wolves.

Bouncy Ball

We bounce the ball to its home,
Running its wings along the air;
Feeding the kids and all the parents
With fun’s laughter, well-chosen.

Springing and vaulting its life,
The escalation will frighten us.
The games are multi-faceted,
Thanking you, thanking me, and all the players.

There Is A Thrill In Resistance

There is a thrill in resistance
In facing the hard thing we must overcome-
On this cold rainy day
It is not only that the air is so fresh
And flashes of light frighten-
It is the going against the discomfort and difficulty
The moving in through the wind
That chills me with
The joy of being alive.
