Maintaining a safe social order
Is one of our system's greatest chores
We're afraid to walk the streets alone at
night
Our society sleeps behind locked doors
Lurking beneath the shadow's surface
Hiding under exterior silence
There exists
in every individual
The potential for criminal violence
Crime after crime - conditioned criminality
Timed after time - randomized
brutality
Reminds us we must live in fear
As we are held prisoner by the fear of assault
Our freedoms are
compromised
As we are held prisoner by the fear of attack
Our freedoms are victimized
A psychopathic killer
A common teenage
vandal
Both victims of instincts
They cannot handle
A fearful population rests
On the brink of insanity
An unfortunate
aspect of human nature
Crime will exist as long as humanity
Some find they must resort
To predatory ways to survive
Some
find they must kill
In order to stay alive
