FOR FEARf

FOR FEARfFor fear of prowling beasts at nightThey blocked the cave;Women and children hid from sight,Men scarce more brave.For fear of warrior’s sword and spearThey barred the gate;Women and children lived in fear,Men lived in hate.For fear of criminals todayWe lock the door;Women and children still to stayHid evermore.Come out! Ye need no longer hide!What fear you now?No wolf nor lion waits outside—Only a cow.Come out! The world approaches peace,War nears its end;No warrior watches your release—Only a friend.Come out! The night of crime has fled—Day is begun;Here is no criminal to dread—Only your son.The world, half yours, demands your care,Waken and come!Make it a woman’s world; safe, fair,Garden and home.
