Safty

which way is your wall facing is it all built up with fancy gating was it built to keep things out or keep things in is the chain with the lock on the outside or is it in what is it really that you keep safe the outside world, from you unchaste the filthy possession and secret tapes unbrittled desires to fit your taste what is it really that you keep safe weapons and trophies brought from abroad stolen items that were bitterly lost rooms and chambers dedicated to sin is there really someone locked within what is it really that you keep safe drinking, drugs, smoking and sex all kinds of activites, what ever feels best block out the eyes that may see from above keep hidden, that these are the things you really love

Awesome work, John. This beautifully written poetry delivers a powerful message. No matter what poeple may try to "keep in the dar" we cannot hide what is in our hearts from God. He always knows! That kept me out of some trouble when I was a child! Love, Robin
