RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: POLICE STATE
Police Lawlessness
When law enforcement officers
Do not obey the law
The system is fraught
With a critical flaw
When those in power
Abuse the force
The people are compelled
To find a new course
When the cop on the street
Can slam you to the ground
A new and better way
Demands to be found
We are a nation ruled by law
Not by vicious men in power
We demand a change of draw
Down to this very hour
If those behind the badge
Refuse to stand up for us all
It is time and time again
For their badges to fall
We need new officers of law
To defend the people’s will
The men and women we have now
Will only watch and stand still
While the people are abused
Tormented and detained
When it comes to use of force
They are rarely restrained
