There is always the chance it may happen
somehow you upset somebody.
Or they take a dislike to your manner
what you say or just a look.
The real risk your family could be hurt
puts your defences on alert!

Without knowledge things start to happen
phone calls with no answer.
Near misses while walking or in your car
thinking somebody is watching!
Escalating to the smashing of your window
whose the culprit you do not know!

A damaged car who can this person be
why this awful assault?
The police do not seem to be any help
proof is what they need!
But panic and fear grows to a high pitch
afraid to touch that light switch!

The end result maybe a fatal onslaught
with the circumstances terminal!
Not only property decimated around you
life to wiped out pointlessly.
A dreadful way for lives to be taken
their consciences forsaken!

Just who is out there looking at you
waiting to hurt and ****?
Why the anger we have not a clue
evil, fanatics or classed as ill?

Nobody is safe anywhere any more!

The Foureyed Poet.
