Violence on our streets hits a new low,

How safe is it for us on them  to go?

Our police force has surrendered control of our streets nationwide,

Due to CONSERVATIVE CUTS wherever we reside.

In Derby a 100 year old fatal mugging  is another moment of shame,

Fewer police patrolling our pavements is definitely to blame.

The lady was approached from behind,

Knocked over by a brutal thieving mind.

She suffered multiple injuries including a broken neck.

While walking to church,her life now a wreck.

All for a green handbag,later found nearby,

I am so sad and sorry to hear  she did die.

A 39 year old man has appeared in court of late,

Accused of committing a crime our nation will hate.
