Duh

If you can look your fears straight in the eye

Standing square head on to them

And say

Screw you

I'm backed by the power of God

If you can look death itself in the face and say

So what

I'm backed by God

Then you're life would be truly magical

Because then

You could truly live your life

With your heart in your hand

Now

This is a terribly hard thing to do

We all live only a pace away from our boogieman

So the threat seems ever so constantly real

But if we can embrace the fear and transform it to

Love and acceptance

Then we will be truly alive

Truly living

But the crux of it is

It's a very hard thing to accomplish

Or bumping into the likes of Jesus, Buddha, Joan of Arc's* would be an every day occurrence.

Don't you think?
