HUNGRY POLCEMAN

When traffic lights turn green from red
And cars stopped at the front and back
Careful, not to drive your mind out
Unruliness messes it all

When a police officer jumps in
Pretends he is right, accuses you
Falsely of contravening rules
Extortion is behind his moves

You know what he says is not true
But to swindle for his own gain
He must return home with some cash
Or drink away from his exploits

Look back at the sharp practices
Victims of fortuitous discharge
Those whose lives we wasted away
And used power to cover up

Be reminded my friend, that here
We create suffering for people
And dish them out in small doses
Like pills to numb the pain within

Please and please, I beg of you now
Don’t add to my tribulations
I’ve had enough of life’s travails
Officeholder, leave me alone
