An ode to law enforcement



What is a cop?
Sworn to protect civilians,
They enforce our laws!

Then people why?!
Why do we destroy their property,
why the threats?
It solves nothing!

Yes, a small handful are bad...
but most,
most are amazing people.
Always willing to help others,
wanting to make people happy.

A peaceful conversation,
where all angles are seen and heard...
that will make real change!

People say,
vengeance is sweet...
That is a lie!
For the pen is stronger than the sword.......
