Everyday
Well being mine this is
Walking through my town
Wondering if i'll live
The gangs are coming
From miles around
To get a piece of the action
In this once peaceful place
I was pushed up against a window
By a group of three
They started throwing verbal
And Pulled a knife out on me
They told me they'd kill me
If I told the police
I couldnt brave it on that night
I had to wait a week
They yelled at me for not reporting sooner
Then did nothing
Nothing to fix it
So there's these groups
Round about twenty
Picking on random guys
In the public

This is a true event.... and there are several gangs around my town... Just recently another thing happened.... I was walking with some friends and this gang of 7 came from the other side of the road scarfs over faces and they beat one of my friends up.... and the police dont do anything about it..... My town is going down the drain... It is becoming a nasty place to live, all because the police's power lets them do nothing whats so ever..... The point that these gangs are travelling a good 20 miles to get to my area shows that it is going quickly..... It is getting scary to go out..... I have a right to go out with my friends and have a good time.... We're just normal people, it's just a shame that these pratts think they have the right to beat on people, after all, they can get away with it.....

This is a scary account. It's awful that the world has come to this. You told the story well though. Thanks for entering.
