A Public Request
Hey Mr. Policeman let your mind loose,
Praise the standards of our youth.
You’re standing on the outside looking in
Rarely do you exchange anything
How did your blood turn to stone?
Try relating to ease tensions grown
Hey Mr. Policeman time goes by
Our children need more than your skeptical eye
Sometimes a word brightens the day
Sometimes they need help along the way
Hey Mr. Policeman just standing there?
Political zombies, sent too stare
Seemingly, socially and totally blind
A mind set only to fight crime.
Hey Mr. Policeman our communities and clubs
Survive beyond the drugs and thugs
So stop standing on the outside looking in
Try being a PAL, if you remember when.
