Worry

It sucks dreams, joy, and the truth down a big black hole where no light reaches. It destroys more than poverty the world over, and masks itself as wisdom to the fearful. It rules the lives of most and yet is mostly unseen and not talked about at length very often. It is only recognized as an emergency when it has reached monstrous proportions, and the ashes it has born have choked out the life that once was rainbow bright.
