      Preface

      These simple poems are the reflections of my mind instigated by a simple experience, a newspaper reading, an experience shared or an earlier memory. If it helps you to think and see the things around you a little more differently, I am grateful. If you find the poems are enjoyable, kindly give me a review.

      My Fear

      I fear to go out of my home

      There may be some strangers

      I may need to talk to them

      But they may ignore me.

      I fear to drive my car

      I fear to go hospitals

      They may change my medicine

      It may make me some monster

      As I saw in yesterday’s film.

      I fear to send my wife to work

      She may be attacked on her way

      Or in her bank by
