It Vanished Way Back When

MCD

We no longer have Policemen
or Policewomen, nor Beat Cops
or lovely Rita meter maids, all
gone from way back when; Then
they walked us across streets
taking care holding our hands
and while we cried for lost Moms
and Dads, they sat in our doughnut
shops sipping the freshly brewed while
eating a few yummy custard filled
belly busting paczki or glazed
honey crullers,
with eyes ever vigilant upon
the mean street, they were there to serve
and protect, to fight bad guys
who only wished to bring us harm or
take away make believe, they were
our friends, our Fathers and Mothers,
Brothers and Sisters, and some
we never knew we knew

Until one day way back when
it seemed to change, now
what do we got; it’s hard to say
but I don’t feel safe and
I’m a senior citizen white guy,
so something has gone terribly wrong,
I’m sure it’s fear on all accounts
that brought about this Nazi state,
where silence fills the dread
and no one speaks of distasteful
things from Cops and Crooks alike,
I see no difference between the
guns they bear and the death
they leave behind, lets end
this scourge right here and now
bringing out the flowers, exploding
real truth against their Weapons
of Mass Destruction
