Get off my lawn

By cadymae

I've reach an age
Where I'm afraid of youth,
Their whims of rage,
Surging Desires uncouth,
Means there can be no peaceful accord.

Years of living got me here,
- cautious, alert, on-guard.
Their eyes will sear
You while assessing your yard
For possessions they can't afford.

@Dybbuk: My firearms instructor taught us to keep an unloaded pump shotgun in the house. Just the sound of the action makes intruders pause.

They say that in the very near future it won't be what you can afford, but rather what you can keep. Well said piece, and some day I'll catch the school kid who always drops candy wrappers in my front yard too, cheers!

LOL at your comment. On the other side of town I'm considered a "youth." The part of town where I can afford a mortgage however... I'm OLD.
