What Price Fear
Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)
What price fear?
What can live in its frozen grip?
Not love, not joy, not honesty, nothing pure can slip.
What price fear?
That beast beneath the bed,
the heavy trudge ,the bitter grudge,
the dead silence of things that needed said.
What price fear?
everything and all held dear.
Life itself the price of fear.
