The Fearful Intensity

Intense focus, those eyes contemplating on widespread anger

There is a danger of burning the papers

Creating a deep tunnel of fire through the future

Only paper hold thoughts with care, without prejudice

Now, there is a threat to the stories of yore

Those who have failed to decode their meanings

Match the higher intensity of the cryptic tales

A discrepancy, superiority complex- have undone many

Stripped them of their learned sense of scholarly remarks

Forgotten! The patience to look within and train the eyes

Meditate on the course of the journey and principles

Words, many of them are afflicted with common despair

It feels uneasy to utter them and still remain safe

Their negative connotations transform all the meanings

Eyes develop a passion for rage and  dream of an inferno
