the gated homes

The gated homes

The security guards on display

Watching the drivers or guests

Streaming in and out everyday

The security measures imposed

For the safety of the homes and inhabitants

The people don't want to worry

About robberies, thefts or rapists

Even then they know

They have to look out for themselves

There are bad hats on the prowl

Driving cars snooping around

Once they find the target

They will wait somewhere

When the gate is open

They will rush in...

So quick on time

Take what they want and drive away

Before you can do anything

They will be gone

In gated homes

Don't forget to stay alert

It has happened before

Mind you it will strike again

living in a gated community

Living in a gated community

Many feel the sense of security

The guards will screen visitors

They patrol the area

Any uninvited visitors

They have to be recorded

In case of robberies or thefts

The police can trace from the record

Yet many feel the sense of security

Paying the monthly fee.....

The house-owners shouldn't take it for granted

They should grill the whole houses too

Nobody knows about robbery

When the robbers going to hit the target

So better prepare additional security features

It makes sleeping easy

They are cases reported

About gated community got hit

The house-owners were robbed

Who were at fault?

Don't live in the false sense of security

Don't rely too much on outside guards

It is better be prepared then feel sorry

The robbers will not say they are coming

the security fee

The people live

The gated communities

The semblance of safety

The people hope to get

The security guards patrolling

A sight the residents feel safe

They don't have to worry

About robbers and thieves

They are residents who refused to pay

The security fee in the neighbourhood

They enjoy the safety for free

They don't feel ashamed

Though by law they can

There is no compulsion they pay

By sharing the spirit of a neighbourhood

These residents should help keep it safe

One way is don't allow them to drive in

Let them park their cars outside the security base

Let these residents walk to their homes

Maybe they will learn to cooperate

The gated communities

It is for the good of the residents

Yet there are people who thought differently

Don't allow them to drive in their cars

it all comes down to business

The gated community

The segregation of neighbors

The muscles of wealth

The thumbdrive to class system

The fear of robberies and thefts

The safety issues drawing the line

The people pick the gated community

A feel of security just that feeling

A monthly fee will be levied

Some will pay others will shy away

Some don't bother to pay

It isn't a compulsory bill

The gated community

The premier hike in housing price

It all comes down to business

Capitalize on fear and safety issues

we lost that bonding spirit

The gated community

The sharing of it is missing

The house owners pay the security fee

The bonding is just missing

The neighborhood watch

It has lost its magic

Those years in the villages

You don't hear crimes committed

Stealing and robbery

Nobody wants to take

It was an open concept

Every door welcoming guests

Those were times in the villages

Every one kept a watch for the neighbor

At time moved on the sharing disappeared

Now in the modern concept the yearning returned

But the sharing is missing

It's about money letting others patrol

Around the neighborhood

We have lost that bonding spirit

be prepared every day

The gated community living

Every house owner will pay for it

Along the way the falsehood of safety

There is no guaranteed of its success

Every housing developer

The trend the customers want

The new housing scheme will implement

The gated community living

It has become a selling point

The would be house owners will look

They are willing to pay for premium rate

Of safety they wish to live free of troubles

The crimes of robberies and rapes

The house break-in and inside jobs

The bad people will move in too

In the gated community living

Be prepared for any eventuality

Paying for a sense of security

It never is a guaranteed safety

In a gated community living

we can't depend on the police

The gated communities

It has become a necessity

When crimes and break-ins strive

The people feeling scared and worried

The police patrols still lacking

The communities have to take own initiatives

Some may have run foul of the by-laws

They have to protect themselves

Submissions to local authorities

The snail process it takes......

The newspapers articles of dismay resident committees

Of the lack of urgency of the local officers

The police always say lack of personnel

But they mobilized many to shield the opposition

Laying down the obstacles against these politicians

The communities have less concerned to the police

The gated communities will stay

It will be the way of life every where

In the cities and towns and populated areas

It will be a norm in new developments too

the gated communities

The gated communities

Around the housing estates established

Some through legal approvals

Some through Resident Associations

The residents want to live in peace

They can't stomach the constant worrying

About thieves and breaks -in

It gives them the living fear

These Resident Associations

They forget the law instead

The roads leading to housing estates

It isn't private land....

They pretend

They know the enforcement will be slacked

So they can put up argument

Every family wants to be protected

The gated communities

The people have no choice

They want to protect themselves

For the intruders strike without times

Ask the police

It isn't it's top priority

The residents should take up security

Established it and live peacefully

no worrying about breaks-in

Gated Community

carlosrvra

The gated community

The trend of the years ago

Living in peace and quiet

No worrying about break-ins

The crime rates going up

The economic cake unjustly distributed

Leaving other races to find alternative living

Some turn to crimes to support themselves

The harsh reality in our society

When there are jobs for everybody

The crimes will be harshly reduced

The people need jobs to live and blend in

Again it is the unjust distribution

Leaving others no choice but to turn to crime

They know it is easy way to get money

Living in the short get rich prime

The police a lot to do

Don't pick and dance to tap to politics

It is the people you are entrusted to defend

Yet it is the other way round; the political game

The people living in fear

They band together to form gated community

They believe they have a right to defend their properties and lives

Though they may have run foul of the law of the land

the living fear

The living fear

The robbers, thieves and muggers

The snatchers and kidnappers

On the housing estates of law abiding citizens

Once these evil of humans do

The play the game of hit and run

They know it is effective

They may have read the guerrilla warfare

Hit and run

Before the victims can raise alarm

The tactics work for so many

They do it in the day

Once the night of vampires

They have changed their tactics to the light

The humans are complacent lot

They think who want to rob them?

The police when you need them

You can't find them cruising around

The robbers, thieves and muggers

They study their operating routines

Some housing resident associations

They find no alternative but to cage in

They set up their own gated communities

Running foul of the law they don't care

The living fear

The residents put up a tough united front

They employ guards to do their work

Patrol the housing areas for a safety living
