The old officer
Yes I held the truncheon and the gun,
Yes I was an enforcer,
A berserker to some,
A Champion to others,
Villain and pig to my own family.
No I was not prideful,
No I was not clean,
My hands all bathed dark crimson,
My conscience kept seeping in,
Do fear and respect coincide?
Maybe I was reckless,
Maybe I was naive,
A call of duty haunts me,
A siren's seething screech,
Beyond which I daren't look back.
