SCARED!

Scared to walk on the street when it's dark;
Scared to take the kids to the park.
Scared to chill with friends in the mall:
Danger! - even in a university's hallowed halls.
What is happening in the world today?
Killing and maiming - is that the only way?
Are we to become prisoners in our homes?
Too scared to step out -- too scared to roam?
A scary future lies ahead;
Soon we may feel very unsafe - even in our beds.

Yeah, took a walk last night and not going to lie. I was a bit apprehensive about California drivers before because they straight rude, careless and self absorbed, but seeing them all as a weapon that could kill me is a bit unnerving because someone is unhinged.

It's the when, how and where that makes it scarier, I think we need to be prepared but at the same time we have to go on with our daily lives.

@Kandae11 our government is still fighting a months long war on a group of terrorists that occupied a Southern city and has some hostages, something that was unthinkable before.

@louievill Sorry to hear that. I hope the hostages are set free.

It is unsafe I agree, but you know after years of being vigilant, I am fed up with that and just think well if it is my time to go, then so be it. I am obviously not going to run to danger, but I am not being a prisoner for it either.

@Kandae11 Yes for that is what the terrorist want is for everyone to be filled with great fear and staying in.

Dang good poem @Kandae11 and sadly the truth in today's world. Back in the day, night-time was the worry. Not today. Weirdo stuff happens in the morning, afternoon, evening.

It seems to be the pattern anywhere! We are just praying that every rightful person be spared from any harm.

Sadly this is the way of the world. Sad but true. It never stopped us going about our daily lives when the IRA were bombing London. We can all play a part in this and reporting our suspicions to the police and security services. It is as much our responsibility as it is for our own safety!
