Cosmic Fear


 Cosmic Fear


“Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are
presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new
evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is
extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it
is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize,
ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief.”
― 
Frantz Fanon, Black Skin, White Masks



                             

                                Cosmic/Fear


                                   Surprising events


                    Washing away                            
                    Historical tide
                    The direction they
                    Wanted
                    Who knows
                    What
                    I am certain
                    Of
                    Cosmic Fear
                    ***
                    Evaginate it
                    Looks
                    On plain
                    View
                    With finesse
                    Try to fluster
                    Looking
                    Like gnomic
                    To fluster
                    Us
                    Fact of
                    My
                    Our
                    People in
                    Every slot
                    Penetrating
                    Widening
                    Monotonous
                    Mathematic
                    Of ‘’Addition’’
                    Cosmic Fear
                    ***
                    Covering its dwarf
                    Image with fake
                    Bloom
                    Concealing
                    His disgust
                    For us pretending
                    With his
                    Cosmic Fear
                    ***
                    Tried to stride
                    Without
                    Any authority
                    Name himself
                    ‘’King of kings’’
                    Gatecrash
                    Without peoples
                    Vote
                    Making us
                    Despondent
                    Taking away
                     Hope
                    With every
                    Paradox
                    In this 21st Century
         On planet earth
         ‘’Honouring’’
         Trump ant eating
         Testing Sugary
         Donald With
         Imperial Hijab
         Cosmic Fear
         Make us fear
         The feathers
                    Useless Straw 
                    Cosmic Fear 
                    *** 
                    Jumping oceans
         Mountains hills
         North-South
         West-East
         Middle-East
         Circling the Globe
         Selling us
         For the
         Highest Bidder
         The merchant of
         Venus
         ‘’Shrewd’’
         Merchant
         Testing the
         Irony of cruelty  
         With the gold
         ‘’Gift’’
         Gold Chain
         Cosmic Fear!!!
         Cosmic Fear!!!
         Cosmic Fear!!!
