The Shield
(The Badge of Courage)
The Shield doesn't stop a bullet
or wrestle an angry man
when it is bone against bone
it is not justice that groans
who is cast into the dark
shadowed crevices of our society
and expected to up hold justice
and defend righteousness
those that wear the shield
the badge of courage
when someone takes
'the law into their own hands'
they hold a woman or man
wearing a badge
when things get out of hand
you call, "The Man."
the soldiers of the suburbs
who protect and serve
the cold hard facts
officers are lost daily
in the line of duty
out in the field
behind a small badge
called ...
The Shield
