"Stories can conquer fear, you know. They can make the heart bigger."
Ben Okri
Insensitivity...
When you can tell the tales of ghostly things
The absurdity is voiced into a more sensible place
If you can write about murder and mayhem
You can laugh when the victim trips and falls on his face
When fear of reality grips your soul
And you are finding yourself afraid of the dark
Putting it on paper or telling the story
Makes true dangers a walk in the park
But is the lack of sensitivity too much?
Have we come to believe that the hero always wins?
The strangers are still out there lurking in the dark
And we can't comprehend when it starts or it ends
