I remember


For sure
They keep the statistics –the powers that be
Burglary here
Rape there
Drunken driver off the road again
Another child molester protected by his sister
A delinquent boy protected by his mother
My wheelie bin takes your telephone cables to the dealer
Dial-a-merchant just like we see in the Hollywood movies on TV
Where do I 
Hear and see these things?
The headlines
Can no longer compete
Life of the poor
Filled with tragedy that stings
The brothers and sisters escape
To praise songs sing
Co-existing with Jan Bos
Still the thing
In forty years and more
This is still
No foreign thing
