#safety poems on Hello Poetry

Walter W Hoelbling Apr 2018

talk not to me
of the reality that media shoot
at me from morn to evening

not of catastrophes or cruelties
humans inflict upon each other
with never-ending venom

speak to me of the delight
a newborn gives its parents

the joy and pride a child feels
mastering its first challenging task

the sudden sparkle in the eye
of refugees when finally they have reached safety

the wordless joy when two have found each other
and for a time need nobody else

speak to me
of all the moments in our daily life
that make us proud to be human

Please Pay Attention

Please pay attention
Get off of the cell phone
Prevent disaster from happening
Always stay on the horn
Travels should be handled with care
Move forward cautiously
Manage your time wisely
Safety should be everyone's top priority

Son On Today!

Today I worry even mo so..
Son I worry even more when you go out that door.
Mistaken identity.
Victim of false accused identity.
The Armed  who carry behaving like assasions.
with Armed badges.. Ganged up armed trained men with fear.
Claiming fear makes them killers of our unarmed souls.
Be it against petty theives.. or mistaken innocent individuals.
Community left to weep uncosolable tears and fears.
God bring my son/daughter home safe today.
I fear letting my children out to play.
I fear being in my home  where even cops bullets fly astray.
God is it gonna be a safe day.
I protested in the streets today.
I wept in my neighborhood.
I wept.. I weep. I wail.
uncontrollable.
The burden goes beyond my inner soul.
I'm not unbreakable till you console.
I fear who will be next to be tragically slain.
Only a moment a day in time fearing the pain.
Will I see my sister, my brother, my mother my loved one again.
Even though today I'm able to hold their hand.
Lord bring them home safe again.
I just don't knew when.
Mercilous killings will strike again.
By seriel killers..murderers, or armed men with badges.
We march we pray we protest we bury our youngs  ashes.
Let us anoit our heads with oil we have much to bear.
No matter our race, creed or culture.
We have to unite against these tragic things.
Be tired of hearing our community screams.
S..T..O..P. with the
slaying- tragedies -oppressive- power
stop slaying us by tragedies of oppresive power.
S-suffocating, Slaying, slandering.
T-tyranny-cruel and oppressive government or rule.
tragic events cause for tormoil.
O-Oppressive-unjustly inflicting hardship and constraint.
especially on a minority or other subordinate groups.
oppressive laws.
P-people under abuse of authority. Of unfair punishments.
The people are perishing. The people are being punished
with persecution and unjust prison terms.
S.T.O.P
this madness.
P.O.T.S.
we are
Protesting Over Tragic Slaying.
Of all forms.
Son on Today!
We Must Pray!
Even the more So..
Lets go!
by selinaSharday S.A.M 2018

When our sons and daughters are oppressed..when almost every branch of office and home of safety is threatened turned upside down. our communities..our homes our lives.. our country

Psalm-45 (Original)

(A Psalm of Exaltation: God's name is a
strong refuge.)

O Lord, your name protects—
Even as a shadow covers from the sun.

It is a lovely name, comelier than the lily
And sweeter than the rose.
And holy. All-powerful
And high above the earth—
Even higher than the heavens.

Nature provides crannies
For the tiniest creatures.
And dens for the wild beasts
That they might dwell safely.

The fox is protected
In the burrows of the earth,
And the squirrel finds refuge
In the hollow of a tree.
The scorpion's sanctuary
Is beneath a rock,
And the hive is a shelter
For the bee.

Even so, Lord, by your wisdom—
You have established for us a haven
In your name, wherein we are safe.

Simply you

I simply want your embrace.
Your arms wrapped around my frame
the heat of your blood pumping
the soft texture of your skin
the musky smell of your neck
I do not need words
I do not need that look
just your embrace.

So often as the day grows
my resolve dies
situations frustrate the mind
hardships puncture the heart
and my mood fowls

It is then
I simply crave you
the balm for a wound
that has never healed
It is then
I simply need you
holding me together
Untill the end

Safety can be in the arms of a loved one. Love can be simple.

My Bed

The dust settles in around me
This sleepy hollow where I live
I snuggle deeper in
When did I last leave you?
You’re around me and I cannot leave
There is nothing in this world that could convince me
I need you
Without you I am lost
You are my comfort
My security
You are as necessary as the air that fills my lungs
When this world is demented and shows me its horrors
I run to you
Where else could I go?
There is no one I trust more than you
And so I fall deeper into you
Into your warmth
Your comfort
Your safety
You.

On what leaving your bed can feel like while living with a mental illness.

Safety

Safety, oh how i embrace your presence
Keeping me guarded and secure
Shielded from insecurities, shielded from pain
Keeping evil at the other side of the fence

You were there for me always through this roller coaster
My appreciation for you goes without merit
Without you I would lose more than I would gain

At my worst, you did the fighting,
At my best you remained close
Your loyalty goes beyond what I can imagine
But every cloud has a silver lining

A friend I thought you were, but oh was I a fool
Blinded and confused, i was tricked by your comfort
Not seeing that your protection was in fact prison
Like chemotherapy what you are is a drastic cure
Not only fighting the bad, but instead killing it all

Constantly acquainted with emptiness and solitude
Never opening a door, you’ve always kept me in the hall
How could i have been so clueless and subdued
Putting unconditional trust in your methods

You say you’ve kept me from suffering
But you also kept me from the beauty the world was offering
As time went by you rendered me careless
Staying in endless wander, never listening to my heart’s call
Robbing me while making me think you were cleaning the mess
Making emptiness my new reality, you’ve kept me behind a wall
I’ve realized that you were nothing but a hypocrite

You’ve not protected me from love but instead kept me away from it
Keeping me numb from the beauty of sacred bond
Oh safety, you’re driving me down a purposeless road

To feeling’s knock you kept me unable to respond
Thanks to my foolishness you now control the car
You’re a liar, a deceiver, only hurt you have bestowed
So you may have won the battle, but I will win this war

Untouchable

You don't get to have layers or dimension.
No tension, just breathe.

Dimension is something you must earn,
But soon you will learn to be untouchable.

There is no form of violence or agression acceptable.
You have to be respectable. Don't even move.

The would-be layers blend into one muddled grey.
Who you are is long washed away, untouchable.

Some sincerity you may sneak, but come right back
When you can't take the heat. Look ahead.

Do what it takes to hold yourself together.
It will forever be easier to be untouchable.
