I am safe

I am safe
————-

Settled into
my little place
my thriving community
my group of friends.
I am safe.

I read and watch news of
my city
my state
my nation
the world,
but I am safe.

Activities going on,
rally’s and parades
neighbors against neighbors
war and conflict
hunger and death
human rights denied,
but I am safe.

Am I safe?
