Cops,Crooks and Crims.

To get out of trouble you hire a great lawyer,

He'll get you out of it guitly or not,

These Officers who do favours for those who are mates,

They get them off easy, for no extra rates.

Our system is evil, nobody plays fair,

I have little faith, in those who control our laws,

They're walking among us,

Crims, Crooks and Cops.

 Who am i to trust, when they're all corrupt?

This poem = why I don't vote. It's all bullshit. I live in the US, and over here people love to pretend that our government is the only one not filled with b******s. But you have to be a b*****d to be in government in the first place. I'm not an anarchist- I recognize the necessity of government, but I also recognize its' potential for disastrous corruption. I just avoid it as best I can.

I think this is pretty damn good for a ten-second poem! I love the ideas of corruption, really good work!

Okay, I am an editing nut so here goes- correct spelling is "guilty". Is Crims a slang word for criminals? Not a good idea to use slang unless it is very well known. And the "I" needs to be capitalized. I really identify with the subject matter of this poem. So many people have their heads in the time of "Leave It To Beaver' when it comes to law enforcement. Yes, I am sure there are some honest cops, somewhere, but the days when you can assume, oh, a police officer, always honest and upright, have left us, I'm afraid. We only hear about the really shocking cases on the news, but there are abuses against people everyday I have no faith in the system.

Nicely written, and all of it true, sadly. Those written in quick, jot-me-down formats are often the best. However, I do believe this one was done in record time!! lol

Sometimes the poems that come in a flash are the best. My poem Masquerade came like that. This is really good, brief but thought provoking. It's true here, too!
