Living in the same town for 18 years You see so many changes that happen From the changing of lights To the changing of businesses From the changing of people To the changing of the Population A small town 18 years ago About 2000 people Now 10000 or more Brings many memories When you were known by everyone To when your known by only a few That have been here Long enough to know you From day one The violence starts adding The Crime starts increasing When the local paper Only had 3 or 4 police reports Now it takes half a page It makes you stop and think When you try and cross the main street That takes you 5 minutes or more Because of the passing cars How it only took a few footsteps Within a Minute To reach the final destination Across the streets in town.Birth sign: Libra
