rather be feared than loved

Fear they say is the greatest motivator
Historically speaking
Love is probably a close second
In my mind though this begs the question
Where does quality fit in
To this equation
Speaking completely personal
I'd rather have a crew of people who
Will themselves to help
Out of a strictly human desire
Rare in the world do we still see
Masses of selfless souls
Dedicating the most priceless of
commodities
Ever ticking time
Free of hidden selfish
Motivated motives
Powered by helping another
get by
Does anyone have any thoughts
As to why
A thing done so easily
Is now rarer to see than
Big foot skinny dipping in
a loch with Nessy
Here is where my head gets kind of messy
I can no longer be objective
And probably why nobody gets
If we are no longer willing and able
To find time or create some in our
Crowded lives
Have we become worthless to one another
Just pissed creatures that communicate
When something is to be gained
Or a loss is at stake
Complete fakes with no genuine concern
As to how the rest of us
Truly do
Maybe it's become such a hostile pile
Different from the beginning
When the majority majorly struggled
With more then winning before we
Chose to state a differing opinion
To accomplish more then arguing
For the simple sake of arguing
Boredom has become a pandemic problem
Causing humans as a whole to create a conflict
Where one previously didn't exist
passing time which was much more of a waste
Bringing toxic emotions to the surface on purpose
Collectively taking another shit on mankind
If this is the path were taking from here that's fine
But I'll be across the road holding a profane picket sign
Waiting for the groups of armed assholes
Hurrying to find the next fortunate fool
They can use as a tool
And help us remember why fear
Motivates us the best year after year
