Instead of staying in

Instead of staying in, I could go out;
But I am held back here  by stifling doubts,
The  heart is sad the sea is deep and dark
I wonder at the minds of those who shout
Is this true ,they must protest to  ease their hearts,
Instead of staying in.

Since the new millenium was here
The world’s been further racked by   violent fear
While in his pram the baby sleeps alone
Assuming carers are  still  watching  near.
Until  a madman throws a knife or bomb
Instead of staying in.
