Walking Into Danger

We are walking into danger ignoring its warning signs.
We are walking into danger saying: ‘it’ll be alright’!

We are playing a game we can’t win but conceit means we play with a fading smile.
We are seeing all around us that life is not guaranteed in Nature’s eyes! 

We are complacent in our attitudes thinking we can control the tides!

But…

We are walking into danger and this danger does not care if we survive.
