Man In Blue

Always respect the men in blue It was never an issue, until I met you Respect the badge, just like the flag It’s just what we knew to do But then you came along And proved our theory, wrong Humility died and filled you with pride One by one, the lies piled on You portrayed yourself, a friend Helping hands, you would extend But once we learned, you let it burn You’d kill your own kin to win We have now become your prey Since learning your wicked ways Narcissistic, you depict it Beneath the honor, you display A frightening day and time When those, out fighting crime Are forming tribes and making bribes While we must walk the line

Why don't we have those in powerful positions take a mandatory psychological exam, every year to keep their jobs like, they mandate physicals? I always wondered why put a service revolver in someone's hands if you don't know how well they are psychologically? Well done.
