Modern Knight

People Rarely see you protect us from the gangs
 the killers of the innocent 
People Rarely see you protect us from the drugs
the dealers or the pusher scum 

People Rarely talk of the accidents and carnage
People Rarely talk of your heroic rescue or deeds or 
The small child or mother you saved 

People love to talk about the murder, the mayhem, 
the loss of innocence
People love this talk but rarely but you in a good light 
or a positive way

People love to talk and whisper about a television made 
World of police and law and order
People love to talk but forget what you really mean, 
For you are the true Knight of the modern day.
