Up until now I thought my town was rural
the same problems as anywhere else.
But more sinister things were taking shape
as gun dealers arrived!
Lived in the place all of my days so far
this has raised the scary bar!
Thought other countries had this headache
realising there is no safe haven.
Nobody can be certain of their well-being
the chances maybe low.
Yet with uncertainty around it can change
human activity is strange!
People fear the threat of those with a knife
guns are a danger from any distance!
Had that creepy sensation of being watched
somebody has that sight on you?
These thoughts can stimulate your mind
there are those this way inclined!
Am I being paranoid guns on my local streets
should I be concerned?
The law seems less trustworthy than before
far more just ignore it.
A worry those we should be able to respect
often are the ones to suspect!
Always said undermine the police forces authority
the only barrier against the villain.
And we the public would pay a heavy price
big cuts and break their moral
Would endanger the public increasing crime
we have reached that time!
