World - Is It Safer Today? Poem by Paul Warren

Is it safer today than it was in the golden days?
When you could leave your door unlocked when you go away
There were no ISIS terrorists when you went out in public
And being alone was not an issue when you were meek

The roads certainly weren't safer there were many more deaths
And cars that you drove were not as safe being a bit bereft
But assault rates and murders are all about the same
With how you would perceive it all in the game

But the issue is what we intend to do and how we go about it
What I think is the problem is how the media will sees it in a fit
So in this society that we have today we will all need to think hard
Although I would lock your front door when you leave your yard

Times are as safe now as they were in the olden days
But don't do stupid things with your safety in your wary ways
We will all be happier and live happily following rules together
And stand up for inclusion for people in the world when we gather.
