A train of nooses

You are afraid.
The fear causes more fear, and you accept
this is your lot
You lean forward for them to slip the rope around your neck
The noose tightens
your job isn't done
You go hunting for fresh souls
An unwilling reaper for undeveloped crops
Ones who accept the noose.
Like you.
You draw the innocent out of hopelessness
You sacrifice them to the pyre
Fool
You distract them from the truth; watering their hopes with saltwater
Is death actually preferable
Is it simply the fear?
Decide.
Either break the chain
or be a Pawn.
