Today, my neighbors house alarm went off
The defending sound, shattering the silence, a warning
Which revealed the reality
That crime would always be near us and in our proximity
I think it stuck with me more than it did the others
Because as the noise stopped, I'm sure they went back to their bubble
But I stood, thinking about the fluorescent light
A silent sign, that somewhere along the line something wasn't right
Alerting me of the false sense of security, I had all along
It blinked, I thought I was safe, it told me I was wrong
A morse code, telling me that I took it for granted
But the illusion of safety had just been disenchanted
So I began wondering
What other warning lights had I been avoiding
I peered out the window again
And the warning light continued
Begging to be noticed, but I could barely see it
My bubble made it blurry, I felt at home with my ignorance
