From A Place Of Safety

It’s an easy thing, from a place of safety,
To tell the oppressed and threatened
Not to cower, a different thing, when in
Their place of danger, not to do so,
Not to run and hide, and instead to
Stand up and protest, and invite the
Inevitable retribution, however illegal
It might be, when the judiciary too
Is suppressed. Don’t rest easy, even
If you still think you are safe; this
Black plague of fascism is more
Contagious than the old biological
One, and no-one has yet been brave
Enough to invent a vaccination.
