Floating gently on a cloud....

Fear of Evil

An alarm went off in a house,
Not far from where I lay.
The dogs started to bark
And I began to pray.

It was 4:45 am....dark,
As I lay frozen in my bed.
The only sound my thumping heart
As fearful thoughts ran through my head.

“What if the men come here?
That group of 4 evil men.
Men with hearts of stone
Who’ve broken in to houses ten.”

Why must I live in terror?
Is nowhere safe anymore?
There are many people at this moment,
Out there breaking the law.

You can’t escape evil,
It lurks in every place.
In every town, city and country,
There is even plenty in Cyberspace.

Will peace and goodwill
Ever be offered to one and all?
I am scared....really scared,
When will it be my turn to fall?

As I walk down any road ,
I could be murdered, abducted or raped.
All I would be is another statistic,
Victim of the man whose heart in evil is caped.

I want to trust this world...
But to trust is to invite so much bad.
The world could be so beautiful,
Instead it is really sad.

There is nowhere for me to hide,
I am at the mercy of mankind.
Whatever I do the shadow of threat
Follows me I find.

Nowhere to hide...
I’ll only be safe when I’ve reached my grave.
I’ll be safe when I have died.

Excellent writing.  Unfortunately, your words speak the truth.  Its an unsafe world, especially for women. Seems to be getting worse all the time.  The law is no deterent it seems.
Don't know the answer.
Anyway, enjoyed the poem.  Stay safe!
