Gen. Patton Writes Poem "Fear"
While Dashing Across Reich
Lieut. Gen. George S. Patton, one of the best known and
most courageous commanders in the armed forces of the
United Nations, today was revealed as the author of a poem
“Fear.”
Written while the forces in his command wore sweeping
Irresistably across Germany, General Pattons poem appeals
in print for the first time in the May isyue of Cosmopolitan
magazine. The poem follows:
FEAR
Sermon Subject Sun. a. m.
“The Glorious Gospel”.
Sermon Subject, Sun. p. m.
“Romans 12.”
WHAT IS SIN?
Some seem to feel that im-
mortality is the only sin. How- j
ever there are other types of sin. ]
The “One Talent Man” proba- *
bly was a good, moral man. Nev-j
ertheless he was called “wicked?
and slothful” (Matt. 25:14-30). |
. .Again, Jaimes said “To him]
therefore that knoweth to doj
good and doeth it not, to him it i
is sin” (James 4:17).
Paul said, “Whatsoever is not ?
faith is sin” (Rom. 4:23). \
Again, David said, “Keep back!
thy servant also from presump-1
tons sins” (Psa. 19:13). j

I am that dreadful, blighting thing,
Like ratholes to the flood,
Like rust that gnaws the faultless
blade,
Like microbes to the blood.
I know no mercy and no ruth,
The young I blight, the old I slay.
Regret stalks darkly in my wake
And Ignominy dogs my way.
Sometimes in virtuous garb I rove
With facile talk of easier way,
Seducing, where I dare not rape,
Young mam.uod from its honor’s
•way.
Again in awesome guise I rush
Stupendous, through the ranks of'
war,
Turning to water with my gaze
Hearts that before no foe could aw*.
The maiden who has strayed from
right,
To me must pay the meed of shame,
The patriot who betrayed his trust,
To me must own his tarnished name.
I spare no class, or cult, or creed,
My course is endless through the
year.
I bow all heads, and break all hearts,
All owe me homage—I am FEAR!
