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!
