Is it me?

Or is it just anarchy?

No Smoking sign at the hospital door,

That the smokers around it seem to ignore.

A ‘No U Turn’ sign at the traffic light;

All the cars make their U Turn, nice and tight.

Is it me?

Or is it just anarchy?

The sign at the roadside says ‘Clean Up Zone’;

We can’t see the ground for litter that’s thrown.

Twin yellow lines say you’d better not park,

But cars obscure them from morning till dark.

Is it me?

Or is it just anarchy?

Speed limit is thirty out on the street;

Cars think that a challenge they have to beat.

Bikes think they’re safer to ride on the path,

Forget pedestrians in the bloodbath.

Is it me?

Or is it just anarchy?

Everyone says they abide by the law,

But that doesn’t gel with all that I saw.

Don’t get me started on burglars and theft,

But don’t call the cops, there aren’t any left.

Is it me?

Or is it just anarchy?

There’s just no respect for others out there,

So I’ll just rant and tear out my hair!
