Justice

Justice
Copyright - 2/3/96

They walk the beat and keep the peace
They right wrongs and put crime away
When life deals its unpleasantness
Criminals go indefinitely free.

Men and women here to help
Arresting circumstances nonchalant
Spit on and misunderstood
Putting away all those hoods.

When the justice system sets them free
Criminals roam the streets
Judges and lawyers on the take
No justice, criminals on the make.

Served with a warrant daily
Police are just doing their job
Lock up and central crime retrieves
Criminals rule and no one believes.

Cops try to preserve our peace
Look at all the things they put up with
Shot, Stabbed, the chase is on
Time to put away all the cons.

Name calling they have allowed
Letting it roll off their backs
Resisting arrest cons try to get away
"Halt, police," they may say.

For every criminal they put up
One gets out on technicality
No one is perfect even the highest judge
Criminals get caught and hold a grudge.

Murder, rape, assault and the like
Cops take them off the street
We can help and get involved
Or else none of us will live to evolve.
