Safety

The world seeks Safety

'mid hurricanes and massacres..

We observe and are filled

with  unease and horror..

No locality seems safe

some say: not if but when..!

Rules and controls

find their voice

and shout out against

those opposing 

restrictions of freedom..

These perennial arguments

as they weary and excite

lead to the question

of the argument itself..

Is the argument destined

to repeat and repeat..?

Or might we find

new questions:

Who is observing and

arguing about those

seeming restrictions..?

Is that one not more..?

More than the clamor

and the anxiety rising..? 

Living in Safety..?
