It Used To Be Safer
this world is not a safe place it used to be safer but not so much any more
it used to be you could wander into any library innocently pick up almost any book from almost any shelf and know you were in for a good read but not so much any more
it used to be that convenience store magazine racks weren’t so blatantly dangerous you could look at cover of stars without ever having to avoid starlets but not so much any more
it used to be that a wedding ring meant something told others they’d be safe near you told you you’d be safe near them told your love they’d be safe, always but not so much any more
it used to be driving on the highway wouldn’t almost kill you with stolen rights of way careless speed and nonsensical lane changes but not so much any more
it used to be the food you ate would be good for you you could trust its label be confident in its freshness and believe its preparers had your health at heart but not so much any more
it used to be you could turn on your television and father knew best you could leave it to Beaver hear Ricky’s “I love Lucy” and John Boy’s “Good night Daddy” but not so much any more
it used to be that evil was hidden in darkened rooms behind locked doors and did not proudly roam the streets but not so much any more
this world used to be a safer place but not so much any more
