Safe & Sound - Mag #162



 Between Heaven and Hell, 1989 by Jacek Yerka


These mud brick walls are safe and sound,
innocuous & blessed.
 The world outsides a tumultuous realm,
of disorder and unrest.

Sometimes I see the wonderment,
of the beautiful world outside
Other times I see the ugliness,
And I want to stay and hide

The path to good or evil,
Can be a slippery slope
It's best to make good choices,
And live with love and hope.

With hope that things get better
The hope that war will end
That people will help eachother
That foes will become friends
