lawless Society That is Uncaring & Selfish nowadays..

Society has gone to hell.

The cops,

There are none

on the daily beat

unlike, the olden days.

You had the police

who actually was

on the streets,

back then

fighting crimes

properly and stopping things

in their tracks.

before they

even occurred in some cases.

As they had their nose to

the grindstone doing what was

expect of them.

Nowadays they are so soft

on the criminals.

A pat on the back

is the approach now.

Even softer prison sentences

if they even get one

in the first place.

Or else a little telling off

from the magistrate/Judge

telling them to be good now.

What a joke!

And they wonder why

society has hit rock bottom.

The kids all hang out on  the street corners

smoking weed and drinking mainly

Not all teenagers are like this.

But you can tell the ones who

are heading down a slippery slope

heading into trouble now

as well as later on in years.

No proper friendly neighbourly areas anymore.

Everyone is to busy looking out for number one

their own families.

Making sure doors and windows are locked and the burglar

alarm is on.

As at the end of the day.

The police in the majority of cases will not even come out

to investigate or even care.

If you're lucky you might get a ring back.

What good does a ring back do?

Sometimes you're not even safe in your own home.

If your an elderly person or someone who is vulnerable

due to health issues, mental health problems and such like.

Bad folk see you as an easy target

and bulgar your home and affect your life

in major ways.

Like today on the news.

An old lady got broken into and died

due to the effect of this happening to her.

Wish you could turn back time

and make neighbourhood communities

like they used to be like in past times.

Folk looking out for each other,

Neighbours looking out for the elderly or sick

or infirm.

Kids and teenagers into clubs like Brownies and

Cubs and community centres for them to hang

out and keep out of trouble.

And the days, when you didn't have to have eyes

in the back of your head.

And you could leave your door unlocked

knowing no one would enter without asking first.

I pity this generation growing up.

As this lawless society is harsh and tragic now.

What will it be like in the next 10 to 20 years?

Scary thoughts.

And yes, just my thoughts and opinions here.

Airing my emotions as this world troubles me.

Time has long gone when things were perfect, when peace were everywhere, when the light easily cast away darkness and when love was genuinely shared in the society.
We said the world is getting civilized, but to me, I think civilization is making the matter worse.
Children hardly listen to their parents nowadays, they smoke, they steal and get themselves in doing illegal things, most especially once they turned a teenager. Bribe everywhere to get what they don't deserve. Police releasing criminals and arresting innocent, people in power oppressing people who voted them in, even peace has disappeared only being read in fairy tales. Nobody trust nobody, everyone suspect everyone.
I think life has gone beyond control, because it seems like it's cure is also contaminated.

Thanks for sharing this writing, Dawn.
Well penned.
