Thank you for speaking out about over-the-top security. I admired your use of quatrains and concern for our "self-identity". Cheers- Joan

ahhh....most folks have placed their trust in the wrong source of security. And so, the need for this poem expounding on the systems that are based on falsehoods.

There is a flickering candle of faith that will continue to guide us through the darkness if we continue to search for it.

Interesting piece. A lot of hidden meaning and detail. Thanks for sharing it!

Blessings,
Marsha

Hi. A very strong poem about a very strong subject. Your word choice is super for the subject. The first verse says it all really, the Houston we have a problem is a brilliant use.

Security, that's best left up to the individual. How can we trust our government or nation to protect us when at every turn they are lying and deceiving our populace? What of Benghazi and the five lives lost there? What about James Foley, the American journalist beheaded by the radical Islamic extremists ISIS? What's being done, or has been done, to rectify those wrongs and bring these cowards who perpetrated these acts of violence against our citizenry to justice? Zero...nada...zilch!

I fear it is going to get much worse before it gets any better.

Nice political commentary in poetic free verse, giovannimariatommaso... Well done.

'THIS is overkill' is an intriguing piece. With love, hope and charity all is not lost. It's only my opinion, but this talented poet has a jaundiced view of humanity. It was a pleasure to read and review a work of this standard.

Very interesting. A lot of wisdom in your words. What will people give for the idea of security, how much liberty, freedom and personal responsibility. Questions that very relevant today. Thought provoking work.
