Delusion of your Own Making

Delusion of your Own Making

A Poem by JulieNorell
"

Nothing but a thing.

"

Safe? Safe is just a word! It’s not even a reality! Safety is just something that every one of you stupid people make yourself believe in. No one is ever safe. Not in the arms of a man, a mother or anyone else. Safety is just a delusion that you create so that every single one of you can go on with your miserable lives and pretend like everything is ok. But how many times have bombs dropped out of the sky unexpectedly? How many times are does one woman get raped in every minute of every horrible day? How many children are begging for food on the streets? How many people are sleeping on the ground?

 

Safety is a delusion of your own mind.

 

Wake up!

Very nicely written, and a strong well-put emotion. I think rather that one must find safety within themselves first. We are all people and make faults, it's sad that it's a survival of the fittest world, but when we can, let us try to let someone else feel our comfort, even if someone has never given it to us.

This is fantastically written, with really quite a troubling topic. I love how it gives a sense of urgency... Beautifully done!

You've identified the problem, JulieNorell. Now you have to find a solution you can live with. I agree that--on this earth--ultimate security does not exist.
While this may be of no use to you at present, I will offer it just the same: Heightening love of life, lessens fear of death. (Most people state it the other way around; It operates that way, as well.)
I very much like your question-raising work, JN.

All we can do is be prepared for it yes. You make a valid point, but live on we must.

Love your honesty.

its us who choose what to carry inside
when others acts they want to take us to their mood
sometimes they hit hard
our power inisde cant holds it
we got scared we even cry
after all we are not steel
but, in a peacefull atmospher
i dont want to think about their acts

If evolution is real, it could have easily made our eyelids thick enough to block out all light.....see were not safe yet!


And this world is indeed a terrible place......... well not the world but some of the people in it :O(
