Counterterrorism

The cops with "Counterterrorism" Splayed upon their vests Alert us to the fact that they're All set to make arrests. They eyeball every passenger In search of someone who May secretly be plotting To cause harm to me or you. At one time I was comforted By having them around, Believing that their presence Helped to keep us safe and sound. But now it's more unnerving, Like the sighting of a fungus, For it makes me wonder if there is A terrorist among us.
