Safety

“You will never be safe when churches are forcibly closed”

on a signboard, outside a church, during a pandemic

on the one side, those who toe the line are unbelieved

looked upon as traitors to the faith

on the other, those who overstep the line are unbelieved

looked upon as traitors to the faith

and here I stand, of opinion, yet uncertain where to step

I hear their discussions, I see their bold standing signs

and I cannot help but think to myself

“It was never about safety in the first place”
