Neighbourhood, Watch!

How long
Can you
Keep up
With this charade
No concern
As you
Hide behind
Your steel gates
Living in
No go zones
What do you
People propose
How can you
Sleep at night
Riddled streets
With knives
Next door
Is known
For gun crime
Just keep drinking
Your fancy red wine
Stop, look and listen
Your home is a prison
The days
Of leaving
Your door
Open are
Long gone
Whether it's
Open borders
Or not
This just
Feels wrong
Where are
The people
That can
Make this stop!
That's right,
There's no
Neighbourhood watch!
City's of culture?
Faking our future!
In high
Walled castles
Where is
Your worries
In the next
Five years
Politicians
Overturned
Your once
Proud
Neighbourhood
Will be treated
Like
Dead wood
Neighbour's....
Just watch!!
