Fearless is an opaque concept
~
Is fearless
To be
Daring with a pinch of stupidity
And a hearty dash of risk?
Or vice versa?
~
Is fearless
To be
Determined
Or is that
Stubborn?
~
Is fearless
To be
A brave or
Dogmatic leader?
~
Is fearless
Being in total self control
Negating
Intimidation and
Doubt?
~
Is being fearless
An admirable trait
Or one to treat
With a little
Wary wisdom?
~
Is a fearless child
The same as
A fearless woman
Or a fearless man?
~
Is a fearless footballer
The same as a fearless
Mountain climber?
Or skydiver?
Or trekker in
The Antarctic wasteland?
~
Taslima Nasreen is a fearless
Ambassador for depressed women
In Bangladesh?
Is that in
The same scheme of things
As Martin Luther King or
As Mother Theresa?
~
I don't think I like the word
Fearless ~
It begs
Far too many questions
With no
Transparent answers
~
