To explain this poem and the odd little symbolism, I will tell you this idea came when talking to a friend about how the jocks in school act bigger and tougher and smarter, and how she is afraid of them.
And if you psooibly understand the symbolism please tell me I will consider you great if you can understand my mind.

FEAR NOT THE LION WHICH WE TAME,
AND FEAR NOT THE PERSECUTED LYER,

FEAR ONLY THAT WHICH IS DEAD, YET LIVES.

Firstly Welcome Back!! We missed you  

Can I guess you are saying the jocks soul/inner self/ brains are dead ie it's all an act etc.  That soul lives it functions but is not truly alive?  Is that what you were getting at???????????  Let me know.


 The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there IS to celebrate.

First of all Tom...
It's short...but says alot..
To me...I think so much esteem
is put on jocks that it's undeserved..
And that makes them dangerous...
It excludes them from the regular
crowd...thus thinking they are above
and beyond reproach....that's what I got from it anyway

Thanks Isis and Jen this poem was so meaningful and still is.

 If all who are born are ment to die, I should not have been born, for I will never die.

This poem ment fear not the prep which we can control
and fear not the lyer whose lies we can see through
but only fear those which they have hurt (me and my friends and others like us)


 If all who are born are ment to die, I should not have been born, for I will never die.
