Security

Security is money - in secular terms -

Faith as security seems less firm -

Yet more dependable 

And consistent with flow. 

Do we know - or learn - that security 

Is an illusion in a mortal world?

Riddled with debt 

We fret 

And long for the days when a blanket 

Could procure a simple peace. 

Security comes from arms - parental, not nuclear.
