Born in the small town then a community
equality part of daily routine
violence the occasional drunken brawl
or disgruntled married couples
no threats to walk out any time alone
or thought of a home invasion
robbed and attacked by masked raiders
these criminal inside traders!
Now not safe even within your own home
little protection by the law
bad guys have a free access to our lives
fraud is a profitable sport
workers have their money taken in taxes
with less rights than perpetrators
as law and order for most has fallen apart
corruption is off the statistic chart!
Those open integrated communities absent
gangs have divided and destroyed
where families struggle to leave so scared
no entry areas you now fear to tread
murders of the young and those foolish to go
many that used to serve and protect
often avoid these volatile flash points of doom
where the evil predators loom!
Do you know what is happening around you
the once thriving shopping centres
businesses closing down charity shops rule
more sleeping rough begging
who once had homes with a future and hope
as drunks increase with intent
vandalising and fighting no purpose anymore
helplessly we watch and deplore!
Once small familiar peaceful neighbourhoods
are now part of historical records
as the shape of things to come are not good
where we are guided to believe
life will be better in this materialistic society
where most are in debt to the few
who can be trusted surely we are manipulated
and every aspect of life infiltrated!
