Bull Run
Being surrounded is not
a strategy
for success

Alamo
Being surrounded is not a
strategy for
success

Titanic
Being surrounded
is not a strategy
for success

Unless you are surrounded
by friends, or
at least
The indifferent
Or at least
The satiated or at
least escape routes

Your best bet being
greater freedom
Than the threats
That surround you

And with freedom
Better judgment
To deal with the threats
Within you

The ones
That transform
mindless ice
Into deadly assassins

... a poem by Ed Covannon - March 2012
