More Frightening than the Darkness
Unattainable peace through the barrel of a gun
Exploitative power in the guise of faith
Habitual hate through the ignorance of tradition
Intolerance. Prejudice. Repression. Separation.
Helplessly turning a blind eye. Silence. Defeat.
Written for Trifecta’s Trifextra Weekend Challenge. Our task this weekend was to write about what scares you in exactly 33 words. Many things scare me, but I think I covered a plethora of fears in my poem.

Such an overwhelming fear you described. It’s the kind I feel absolutely powerless to face.
Yes, it can make you feel powerless. It’s all so widespread and uncontrollable.
Gut-punch blunt. Perfect!
