Constable

Constable


To pinpoint or to finger a Constable
Is treasonous and abominable
Dockets and summons may state:
‘Charged for subverting the State!’

Reorientation my men deserve
They know no longer who to serve.

They fast run with the swift hare
Sharing its calamities of the snare
Then hunt with the ravenous hound
Whose victims are death-bound.

Could he have trained to chase
And not to analyse the case?!
