***
A dirty cop,
Doesn't deserve a gun,
Reflecting glinting light,
As if were a trophy,
Held proudly-
With intent,
To kill people,
Who have done nothing wrong.
Their badges shine,
But have blood splatters on them,
But they'll wash those off,
Like they don't matter.
And they'll go home,
Sleep in their beds,
Guiltless,
While another man is dead.
But that's okay-
It's fine!
They're in uniform,
It's their right.***
