No More,Never Again

How many more young men How many more young women Must fall victim to those Sworn to serve the community? Needless deaths, senseless violence. Upholders of the law Laying low the guiltless? What lies in their hearts What lies in their minds What lies do they live by ? The uniform, their badge of honour Demeaned by soulless depravity. Wholesomeness without Corruption within In God we trust The devil in the police detail We must no longer witness The cruel loss of young lives Let Tyre be the last In such a painful litany That writ must run no more Let the beacon of his light Blaze forth for all to see Never again such tragedy
