Fear

Fear

He gave me an undetermined look
As vacant as a Sunday office block
He knew that he had made a mistake
But curiosity is the master of fools

This was no glittering moment
No epoch of humanity
He had made the challenge
And it had to be met

My eyes rose to meet his
Fixed upon him
And devoured his stare
Like acid rain falling on grass

He had made his last mistake
And it would be the end of him
His time wasn't borrowed
It was on loan
To me

He tried to glance away
Hoping that I had missed it
But he knew it was futile
He had aroused in me
The power of revenge
And, at once, had sealed his doom

He had nowhere to hide

He took a last defiant look
And then he felt the cold of the bullet
And looked no more

The other hostages screamed
But none of them dared look up

At that moment
They knew I was God
And they worshipped me

For I am FEAR
And the one true faith
