What's Safety Theater?

What's Safety Theater?

A Poem by Davidgeo
"

.

"

When fear of attack
Equals fear of suspicion
Well then,
That's when you know it...

That you've been playing safety theater

Where any opponent
Can be labeled treasonous
Where any right
Can be trampled
In peace time

To groom your own theater of "safety"
     Just go to war with reality
From a position of great power

The incidental wisdom is the best one, and you are right -it's been a while . Good to hear from you.
