A Tsunami of Cops

I wrote this in about ten minutes and made one edit pass for about another ten.

 Cops give me the Willies

When they come around 

You wanna come on cocky

Your a*s gets beaten down 

Tazered till you're Barbeque 

then all you need is sauce

Tenderized like KFC

Pulverizing applesauce 

Cops give me the willies

When they come around 

Beat you like a meat pinata

until you're gagged and bound

Keep your Goddamn mouth shut

and smile through broken teeth 

You know where you are going 

Your a*s is up the creek 

Cops give me the willies

when they come around

It's white law they're enforcing 

You shouldn't stick around

I always had a great deal of respect and admiration for the police..until recently...I watched a video of police beating a homeless man over the head with batons and kicking him. He was obviously a sick man - crying for his father the entire time. He died in the hospital that night. The video was shown after the police officers were found not guilty of murder. So much for respect....

Excessive use of force is a real problem with LE

Every news story I hear about the police brings a negative reaction; either it is a tale of what you describe here, or one of our officers has been killed in the line of duty. Philly has had its share of both. Your poem gives something to ponder, Mark.

Thank you Rita.

Quite a misfortune that cops tend to be biased and I must say, being from a community that is predominantly of another ethnicity, the opposite is true. It's quite frustrating how the majority always tends to gnaw at the minorities.

Anyways, sad tale told with your same humorous style, a good read, I must say. Well done.
