Safe No More

Patience, dedication, determination and trust
Living, survival, these are a must
Budgeting, spending, credit or cash 
Money, careers, decisions are rash
Marriages, funerals, family affairs 
Adoptions, abortions, abductions, all there
Murdering, rapes, in alleys of streets
Mothers of victims, hearing those weeps
The world has become a stranger to me
No longer can safety save humanity 
So now I shall choose to lock up my door
Hide from this world I no longer adore
