Police Corruption

With their high viz jackets 
And size 12 boots
Custodial hats 
And Neatly pressed suits 
From high ranking officers 
To the men on the beat 
Who all took an oath to protect the streets
With honour and without malice they swore to serve 
but some abused these vows by being perverse.

Blue flashing lights illuminate the sky 
as women walk  home alone at night
weary of the officers that pass them by,
frightened and nervous,
haunted by Memories of their horrific crimes.

Crimes inflicted by the hands of evil 
men who are narcissistic, twisted and deceitful 
the likes of 
Adam provan,David carrick and Wayne couzens there’s many more like them in fact there’s still dozens 

Who signed up to the force to use these laws 
For their own personal gain 
and to take advantage
Wreak havoc on society 
and cause untold damage 
with no remorse shown for their victims or family’s. 

A force people are now worried to trust.
With a public opinion close to eruption.
Because of the sinister acts of officers,
Who used their warrant cards 
to assert their corruption.
