Fear of the Unknown

Fear overrides all other senses

A fear of the unknown and undiscovered

This emotion knocks down all defenses

But to persevere now is to conquer

 

A short trip, filled with second thoughts and doubt

Arrival brings a falter in courage

Fear brings about complete mental blackout

Bravely, fear is surpassed, replaced with rage

 

Carefully grasping the animal brings

Poison or nectar, though which is unknown

Gathering strength, spreading bravery’s wings

The liquid consumed, bravery is shown

 

What sweet jubilation this heifer brings

A sweet liquid with no consequences
