Sometimes I Wonder

Why is it that we have so many names for cops? Policeman. Pig. Law Enforcement Officer? Now that ones a real laugh. Who is it? Why is it? How is it? These quasi Nazi Neanderthal’s get to break any law they please? Throwing us in jail... What are we doing? What warped, wasp, principle dictates to us, the populous. What angst allows us to submit? Intellect, the nemesis of all, neither sex, race, creed nor national origin determine it? Yet, too much of it makes ones suitability for law enforcement dubious. Sometimes I wonder... Wouldn’t it be more economically viable amidst this capitalistic crap for the small towns and cities alike to purchase donut franchises and save citizen's cents for the library? Ah, YES! After all, then the politicans and the FORCE Can harasses drop out drop- ins And dip donuts in a more cost-effective manner. Contest: Behind Bars Blue

Whilst agreeing with the, obvious, sentiment of this, I wondered if it was good as a poem and I think it is. It borders on performance poetry but there are aspects, like the grouping of sounds ('Nazi Neanderthal’s' for example) that suggests a serious poetical approach. Sopme of the lines seem, at first reading, awkward, such as 'Makes ones suitability for law enforcement dubious.' But then it comes over as comical. A good bit of poetry here!
