Insecurity
Many of us live life, feeling insecure;
feeling there was little to trust;
though the future seemed obscure;
we, at least, thought life just.
As time goes by; we trust very few;
seeing how corrupt people are;
our world; a constantly changing view;
even reality seems bizarre.
Those who we thought noble and good;
eventually show their true face;
tho they claim they’re misunderstood;
it’s quite clear; they’re a disgrace.
It often seems the most evil, succeed;
trampling on neighbors and friends;
their supply is well beyond their needs;
means are justified by their ends.
It’s true; we can’t forsee our tomorrow;
for some; it will never become;
many are destined for tragedy and sorrow;
and even the righteous succumb.
Many seek security by bonding together;
thinking there is safety in numbers;
though such groups may last forever
individuals still suffer its blunders.
As a baby, we were safe in mother’s arms;
before then; safe in the womb;
thru life; angels protected us from harms;
only God protects in the tomb.
