Quit False Safety Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Quit False Safety



I lived protected by high walls Time’s wit
Let stand a while, like pride before stored fall,
Ignoring purposely the fact that all
Vain structures tumble down, and bit by bit
Earth rusts, to dust dissolves, all man would knit.
Protection served its purpose, for the wall
Relieved some pressures, offered wherewithal
Of time to see life’s puzzle pieces fit.
The time has come to quit false safety, split
Entrenched opinions whose scope seems so small,
Creation hinders, progress holds in thrall.
Turning towards far fairer future lit.
Each step to freedom leaves drab past behind,
Destroying bias, liberating mind.
