The articulate The leaders of opinion The policy makers All those who set the tone for society Seem for the most part to be frightened men And how do frightened men deal with life? They don't; they run away from it The simplest among us flee openly Rushing from woman to woman From drink to drink From one empty amusement to another Wondering why we get so little contentment Out of the eighty-mile-an-hour joy ride From unloved Here to unrewarding There Some of us are prouder We conceal our fear under hate And bully subordinates Or persecute political heretics Or nag our children Some of us are subtler We deny fear altogether Pretend that terror is an illusion And safety through "science" is just around the corner This last escape is often the way of the intellectuals The world thinkers The worriers among us Often the worrier tries to persuade himself That his own death won't matter As long as the nation Or Western Civilization Or the human race survives Only to become, mysteriously Ten times as worried as before With each new headline He dies a thousand deaths
