living on the blind side of the city
the more populated we become
the more dangerous are the streets
all kinds of people packing heat
be they good or bad or indifferent
I don’t own a gun and I’m beginning
to wonder if that’s a good idea
thinking the older I get
the more vulnerable I’ve become
please don’t get me wrong
even though it’s a sad state of affairs
many positive things are happening
inside cities both large and small
but in the meantime here I am
living in the present moment
pretending the problem isn’t mine
as I go about my daily life

Thought about getting a gun. The older we are and if live alone the more vulnerable you feel.
how sad and very true ~ the elderly as vulnerable as anyone if not more so
I am thinking a gun, too!
Be careful out there Lara/Trace!
