Dangers They May Face Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

People who have become nonjudgemental.
With a leaving restricting biases behind them.
Discover when it is found.
Accepting to tolerated the differences of others.
Is more enriching than not.
When living to adapt and adjust.
To environments they have chosen to explore.
Feeling adventurous and unafraid,
To walk down urban streets unaided.
Or find the doing peaceful.
Without hearing sirens or cops chasing thieves.
To have it believed,
The dangers they may face.
Will put their lives in uncertain jeopardy.
While those far less adventurous.
And choosing to live in suburban isolation.
Depend upon obtaining their experiences to live.
Mostly done to shock hearts to stop.
By watching sensationalized news on TV.
To see every threat possible.
And if allowed they could be next.
If they no not with urgency protect themselves.
Not necessarily from strangers.
But from neighbors they see on a daily basis.
With this to perceive,
Even those they know as neighbors next door.
Should be reason enough to let it be known,
They are collectors of weapons.
And will use anytime.
To protect possessions they own.
Kept to announce,
Exactly where they can be found.
Inside their homes.
And,
As an afterthought...
They may mention spouses and children.
To validate a reason why safety,
Is their utmost priority.
