Heart of Steel

Steel your heart to terror
this cannot happen on our watch
protocols that give protection to criminals
allows criminals to own the street
becoming ever more aggressive
just like the Vikings of long ago.

They came in on their dragon boats
wrecking havoc, taking what was good;

iron, silver, gold. Used brute 
strength until the victims

stood up to the intruders

with the same ferocity 

that was meted out.
