The SidneyCarton erratic and inconsistent Poetry thread: |

In honor of the outgoing VP, I felt the following is appropriate...
Phobos
When you feel a little scare, You make believe that I’m not there But I don’t think it’s on a lark, Your flashlight’s trembling in the dark
Who’s that breathing down your neck? Making you a nervous wreck You can’t see me but I’m real I’m the terror that you feel
Call me Phobos, call me fear What you feel when madmen leer I’m what wakes the kids at night Causing them to shriek with fright
I’m here when the lights go out When women scream and old men shout When your children go to school, To bed, or playing in the pool
The aftermath of every bomb, I’m the chill in eerie calm The voice of whispers, ever near Booming in your quivering ear
The piercing stare behind your back, The victim screaming on the rack, The stranger in your village square Everywhere you turn, I’m there.
I am Phobos, I am Fear. There in all you see and hear And that’s my shadow on the deck, And my cold hands around your neck.
Five days folks, and the reign of terror is over!

4. I actually wrote it a few years ago in an Creative Writing class. |
|
It wasn't originally meant for any person in particular, but it seems to apply pretty well.

3. Phobos, son of Mars is greek for fear. |
|
Thats funny, I always knew you learn no fear on Mars, did not know why, guess once you kick Phobos butt nothing else ever scares you.
Funny how you learn new stuff every day. Reading on Wiki.
I can't believe I never knew Ares was same as Mars! That is just too funny. I always thought Ares was wimmpy. LOL.
