Carry On Tuesday #40

Written for Carry On Tuesday
The prompt this week is from Percy Bysshe Shelley:
Fear not for the future
Weep not for the past.

Here's my Syllable Sestina:

TORTURE THEM!
Fear not for the future
you’re fearful, not the fort.
Torture them! Fear not, fuse
future nurture. Fear them
that fuse fear, torture not,
not that you fuse for fear.
