Whoever Is Alert

Whoever is alert
Seeks to some point assert.
Your thoughts need not round cruise
Or a search start for clues...

He's a security,
Safety—Priority,
For prized alacrity,
Help to authority,
Eyes on obscurity;
Life has no parity:

Whoever is alert
Can fat danger avert,
Swoop on a crazed pervert,
To The Right him revert;
Prowlers picking their names,
Crooks beating in their games
On even days gone grey,
Lens swinging either way...

Though the worst still emerge 
And us ready for dirge!
