James Fraser Poet Rhyme

Will Our Neighbourhoods Ever Be Safe Again

The day will come soon
As our safety ceases to exist
Mans determination
In his killing persists

Street crime is rising
To feed the life of drugs
Many people are afraid
Of these sick cowardly thugs

Society needs to change
Addressed by the powers that be
The ones that have been elected
In trust, by you and me

We need to change the rules
Prison sentences need to be revised
If your prepared to deal in drugs
Twenty years looks good in my eyes

Then it comes to murder
Where many citizens, they fall
But their killers are alive in prison
Their breathing, their living through it all

The world has so much compassion
It's time to channel it's feelings
No forgiveness for these scum
Execution, watch their feelings reeling

Compassion has to have passion
For the right to get rid of the wrong
And just maybe one day it will happen
As the whole world sings the same song

The chances of this happening
As they are sworn into government places
They stand proud to ask for our votes
Once elected, they appear to have two faces

Constance La France November 24, 2009 at 4:41 AM Hi James, thanks for your comment on my Haiku poem "Dawn" I tend to have difficulty writing this form, but I am happy with my results. This rhyme poem of yours is very powerful and thought provoking. Good job. I was happy to place your magical poem in my contest, for you truly took me on a beautiful journey to another world with those magic rocks!

Debbie Guzzi November 23, 2009 at 12:26 PM The powers that be have 1 face in ALL nations SELF INTEREST. Those you have power will never help those who don't advance SO you have a permanant under class, call it what you will, there will always be slaves and the children of slaves. Where HUGE discrepencies exsist there will always be "crime". The word is a lable to stop the lower levels from rising. Justice will never be achieved by the law as long as inequity abides in and hides behind the law (in any country).

Sara Kendrick November 23, 2009 at 3:47 AM There is compassion in my heart for those who want to change and live an honest life. Those that get caught up in something and feel trapped but really want out. I also feel that those who don't want to change need to be removed from society so that they can't harm the innocent. Nicely done write on this topic. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara

Carolyn Devonshire November 22, 2009 at 8:28 PM Ah, James, two faces indeed! Shakespeare wrote in his play Julius Caesar, "The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones." But today it seems more like the evil men are living longer as the good are too early interred as victims of violent crimes. This is outstanding, Highlander! Much love, Carolyn (And you know I can relate to this message right now!)

Linda-Marie Sweetheart November 22, 2009 at 3:49 PM Two faces indeed but we must have hope that someone somewhere will have the passion to change it all back to the "good ole days" when u never had to lock your front door... great message and excellent write, James.. something for us all to ponder ... luv... Linda-Marie, P.E.P.S."Sweetheart"

Doris Culverhouse November 22, 2009 at 2:20 PM good poem, great ideas, murderers should be eliminated.

Audrey Haick November 22, 2009 at 1:40 PM You know, my Father, RIP, used to say this often, 'You can't trust or rely on a politician'. Now that I'm older I believe he was right. I also believe that sooner or later we as a community will have to create a Neighborhood Watch for our communities. The politicians live in another world, it seems! Majority are only interested in the "Power" and position.
