A rat is afraid of a cat
A cat is afraid of a dog
A dog is afraid of a wolf
A wolf is afraid of a lion!
The weakest is afraid of the weaker
The weaker is afraid of the weak
The weak is afraid of the strong
The strong is afraid of the stronger
The stronger is afraid of the strongest!
The rich is afraid of the poor
The poor is afraid of the rich
The thief is afraid of the cops
The cop is afraid of the thief!
A man is afraid of the snake
A snake is afraid of the man
A man is afraid of a man
A beast is afraid of a beast
A man is afraid of the beast
A beast is afraid of the man!
What a sad paradox!
What a strange paradox!
The entire world is engulfed in fear
The entire society is in the grip of fear!
What should be feared is to be feared
Of course should be boldly faced!
Only thing to be feared is fear
Only force to be feared is one's mind!
