The first speaker said
Fear fire. Fear furnaces
Incinerators, the city dump
The faint scratch of a match.
The second speaker said
Fear water. Fear drenching rain
Drizzle, oceans, puddles, a damp
Day and the flush toilet.
The third speaker said
Fear wind. And it needn't be
A hurricane. Drafts, open
Windows, electric fans.
The fourth speaker said
Fear knives. Fear any sharp
Thing, machine, shears
Scissors, lawnmowers.
The fifth speaker said
Hope. Hope for the best
A smooth folder in a steel file.

@ Vikram: Thanks, pal.
@ Peter: It's a great sarcasm about a society driven by fear. He was from the USA.
@ Sachi: Do it if you want, the content is freely open. Thanks for the praise, but I'm more skeptical than you about it.
