Discarding Safety

DISCARDING SAFETY Is it safe to be naked when thought turns to deed? Is it safe to be honest when a lie is what you need? Is it safe to be a butterfly when linear thinkers abound? Is it safe to be child-like when immaturity is frowned upon? When times are chaotic is it safe to be order? When lines are drawn then crossed is there safety in borders? When space is such a commodity is it safe to embrace? When anger and hate are brewing is it safe to be face-to-face? Is it safe to be paper when muses escape mythologies? Is it safe to be democracy with clashing ideologies? Is it safe to be a dreamer even when the dream is unreachable? Is it safe to be in love with someone so untouchable?
