Please, give me a safe haven.


Human decency. Fairness. That’s all I want. Is that asking for too much? Guess it is. Because I see a world. Disintegrating. Maybe it’s just my perspective. And I’m wrong. Everything is all right. Decency and fairness prevail.  If so. Please set me straight. But truth be told. I’m losing faith. In humanity. Somewhere along the path. We’ve lost our way. I have days. When I’m no longer the optimist. Even a handful of my dearest friends. Have succumbed.  And joined a civil war. On the wrong side of human decency and fairness.  Perhaps they think I’m the wayward one. And that I should be castigated. And written off. Little wonder. That I have an irresistible urge to retreat. To my cocoon. A safe place. To live out the rest of my life. --Jim Broede
