The Service

2 0 0
                                    

Whirling lights of red and blue

Pull over driver


Speeds the cause

Or maybe randomness


Do you have a reason?

Blow in here

That may be the question


In the end it's a service

A community's conciseness exercised


Yet we still bear the brunt

We get the complaints


And the revenues, it's not our own

Governments the winner were the losers


Hated by some, feared by others

Fear of authority

Fear of being caught


Still at night we go home to friends and family

They never remember we have lives too


It's almost like that Gilbert and Sullivan song

"A Policeman's lot is not a happy one. Happy one."
