Sadistic Policeman

by Sam M. Phillips

I’m cruel and self-serving,

Deserving of a dark fate,

I’m full of hate,

Sate my bloodlust

On those who trust

Me the most.

.

Coast along

In the wrong,

Death’s siren song,

Prong I poke

To provoke

Criminals to crime,

Then I’m there just in time

To arrest

Those I detest.

.

I’m the best

And brightest,

The mightiest

Force in the land,

Hand of the law.

.

Raw power I desire,

Fire the flame,

Blame the underclass,

Ask for more money,

Hypocrisy is funny

To me,

I see

Everything in black and white,

Might is right,

I have you in my sight.

.

Bite your head,

Wish you dead,

Kiss of dread

As I approach,

Reproach you with a gun,

I have my fun.

.

When all is said and done

This is just a lifestyle

I enjoy for a while,

A way to bring a smile

To my face.

.

Spray you with mace

Until every trace

Of humanity is lost,

Boss you around,

Shove you to the ground.

.

I’ve found so much joy

Being able to deploy

Weapons against my fellow man,

I know I can

Act like I’m above

Those I’m meant to love

Because I feel nothing.

.

Stuffing my pockets with bribes,

My mouth imbibes

A corpulent concoction,

I exist for corruption.

.

Eruption of injustice,

You don’t notice

Your own power,

I make you cower,

Shower of pain

To make you think again.

.

Strain I cause

Doesn’t drive me to pause

And rethink my action,

I derive satisfaction

From keeping you under my heel,

It’s the only way I can feel.
