A POLICEMAN'S LOT
Your humour turns flowers to weeds
that started life as simple seeds
cut down by comment and a jaded tongue
so ugly to see in one so young.
You strip the skin from its living form
whatever you say is never the norm.
but in your search for petty glory
you write the end to a flaying story.
Never submit to an honest wit
Identify the source and spread your shit.
For in your threadbare grasp of life
you reap the harvest with a knife
blunted by a heavy hand that
leads you back from the promised land.
Think not of the feelings of your victims
just press on with your phoney dictums.
Your work with the Metropolitan Police
will enforce a very uneasy peace,
so as you rise towards supremacy
suppression will be your natural legacy.

I remain unsure about the aim or the target in lines that
vary from the opening somewhat general tone to the more
specific relating to "one so young" who could be employed
by the Metropolitan Police (but in what capacity?).
It seems that someone somewhere has upset the writer
of this post!
