How can I claim safety, when I stand on heels
forgetting the grounds that I move on, grounds of
cement, sand, and gravel.
where the slightest slide, will lead to my downfall
and then I must not hesitate to rise
in order to fulfill the saying
"your falling place should not be your sleeping place"
"ke o shigbeemo he aka fee owoo he"*
standing on heels is like an insecure man claiming all is well
For Christ is the only security.
