Safe at Home

     Safe at school
        safe in the subway…

     Safe on the sidewalk
        safe on the street… 

     Safe in my home
        safe in the basement… 

     The American dream scammed
        See it on you-tube webcam

I miss the feeling of safety....part of the reason I quit teaching early was due to the fact that I no longer felt safe at school....too many lockdowns and two incidences of guns brought to school...the last straw was the day a junior in my German class returned to the classroom later that day and literally walked into my classroom and shoved me down so hard that I bounced saying, 'that's what you get for failing me.' I'd had enough.

haha, yep, I guess one might be filmed and shared across the world at any time. Luckily, I'm uninteresting.
