Being Scary.

Starry nights can also be scary,

If darkness remains unveiled.

Scary darkness is the death of light,

If light fails to give a tough fight.


Scary spouses are conjugally scarry;

If a routine is scarry,it ends up weary.

Scary teachers can discard their canes,

If their teacherly pride terribly wanes.


Scary Gods steal fear from weird worship,

If worshippers fear about their hidden guilt.

Scary religions scuffle with other sects,

If they fail to feed their clan,with their texts.


Scary leaders are a curse to what they lead,

If they lead through arrogance as their art.

Scary times will clip their creed,frail and false,

If right sense radiantly raises its clarion calls.

    1. Your comment reminds me of the poem "Lead kindly light amid the encircling gloom" by Henry Newman.
