Analysis of Why Fear?
George O'Connor 1974 (Dublin)
Why peddle with fear in your fearless gear?
Why allow irrational thoughts in your rational sphere?
Why let doubts creep up your ladder of goals?
Why think worry meets calm when opposite poles?
Why hesitate when the line is so near?
Why not piece of mind you've nothing to fear?
