The Fear That Keeps Us Alive

Those who don't fear death, 
Could be a danger to your health,
And your wealth.

Chances are the cause will give them strife,
And disrupt their family life,
When any cause will suffice.

A fear of death,
Could even be good for your health,
As threats to kill no longer come out of your mouth.

I see no need to look for a cure,
As I embrace this fear under no pressure,
While I seek a cure for what gives no pleasure.

I will win the fight,
Or die of fright,
As a fear of living is not a pretty sight.
