Inspired by the TV show, "Chicago P.D.". Being a police officer is more challenging than ever in the world. As much as there are valid concerns about issues, overall, we need our police officers. 

Crossing lines
By Michelle Morris
11/01/2023

There are lines drawn
By law and order
By society's norms
And states and countries

They can sometimes
Contradict each other
They can sometimes
Be confusing

But ultimately
Each of us needs to
Be guided by a 
Higher calling

There's honesty and honour
There's good and there's truth
There's peace and justice
There's hope and faith

Our integrity is crucial
Our choices become actions
We move forward on our life path
By experiences and knowledge 

Crossing lines
So easily done 
With good intentions
We hurt and we shun

Lines invisible
Lines so real
Society exists
Through laws and traditions 

But the law isn't always
About what is purely good or bad
It is more often about
The lines drawn by Legal's hand

For a law in one place
Might be allowable in another
And those laws won't have anything
To do with ethics or good governance

Ultimately it's up to each and every one
To be the best person they can be
In the Universe that surrounds us
For all law abiding human beings
