I find their guns offensive from their holsters sticking out <br />And I don't feel any safer when I see them about <br />Supposed to be the peoples 'Watchdogs' but one must ask where are they <br />When people are robbed and murdered and that's happening every day? . <br /> <br />For daring to criticize them I'll be seen as one of the damned <br />But I truly believe from society all firearms ought be banned <br />For far too many mentally ill people under police gun fire have died <br />And too few of them for murder or manslaughter have been tried. <br /> <br />When women are raped and assaulted and that's happening every day <br />The Watchdogs of the people from them seem far away <br />And when they arrive it's often too late as the offender has long gone <br />And despite their guns and wide ranging powers serious crime <br />still living on. <br /> <br />I am not a cop hater as they have never harmed me <br />But with their rights to bear arms I never could agree <br />For when the Government issue them with guns to shoot they give the right <br />And yet the town not any safer for to walk around at night. <br /> <br />They walk around in public and their guns on display <br />But I would ban all firearms that's if I had my way <br />For guns are dangerous weapons and they cause death and tears <br />And the police not winning their war on crime though they've carried guns for years.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-watchdogs-of-the-people/
