If safety...

If safety is the absence of fear,

the privation of danger,

Why must frustration get casted as home?

Sounds like a call for security.

The activeness of aggression [crediting movement as progress], a foil for fear,

Keeping it bound, taking away its power to harm

Like a muzzle for a rabid dog.

If safety is a state 

that security creates

Why must frustration steal the plate-- home run by Ruth, babe?

Let's hear it for healing and peace

Chant like we're at an English club football game 

Cheer for the We we can be

Not hard-shelled or volatile 

Poised and divine

Walking in the light we know

Playing mas without a mask

Fighting for the right to stand on stage

Ending fear-of-emotional-vulnerability's ability to confine me to jail. Bird

Free to fly. High.

Boldly engaging the unfamiliar. 

It is the path to higher ground 

To higher self

Through the muck and the pain and the suck

To that place we envisioned

Yes, that space we envisioned

Our very own true home. Safe.
