Word UP!
Sounds like a hell of a deal, let me just make up a quick poem for a fun entry, I have to be at work in 7 hours but I can't sleep until I write (type) something..
It seemed to shimmer in the sunlight,
Although the tarnish did take hold,
The badge of a officer,
A license to scold,
No fear of wrong because it defines right,
Countless will sleep on concrete tonight
while they rest we must cringe
catching relief from a prescription binge
lowering ourselves to be able to deal
countless have lost sight of what's real
now i hide from the memory
when i was torn from my peace
and how i came to find out freedom is on lease
when the shiny gloss suddenly wears off
of your free life in a traffic stop...
Or maybe it's an ally where your friend sells meth,
hating his life only holding on to whats left...
the shimmer flashes upon the turn
nothing left to lose, only the time to learn
when the revolver was placed in the holster it held six rounds live,
the ambulance left and there were five.
