I thought it was the people’s military, For their wages is the tax-payer’s money. Their uniforms are bought with the people’s money. I was informed that they are to maintain law and order, And that they are to protect the citizens. They said they are accountable to the masses. But the way they carryout their activities, I am sure they are the people’s enemy. The way they harass innocent citizens, The way they molest the common man, Makes one wonder what they are paid for. Their uniform is a mask for theft. Rapists- that is what they are. They kill not foes, but the harmless. The mere sound of their siren sends people dashing for cover. Wherever they go, the stench of terror follows them closely. It is the people’s military, Yet all they do is kill, loot, and rape. That’s what they do, That’s what they are, That’s all they are. « return. |
