There is no fear except the one we make up.
The fear we harbor is us.
On this planet, there is nothing to lose.
The only thing of substance on earth is vanity.

After my great grandmother in vain
yelled the name of her son, Akin,
several times, and got no response,
she stepped outside and scanned
where he was playing,
and yelled his name again,
when she did not see him there
her stomach sank
because down in the pit of her womb
she knew he was gone.
