Only cowards fall in line to an authority built on hate and greed.
Serving your fascist dictator, as bodies drop in the streets.
The poor are only shields to toss aside, as you fire at unarmed black children
and cry about the dangers of being a squealing pig.
You rape women as proof of their deserved imprisonment.
Then you fake concern for the victims of sex trafficking.
You’re nothing but a trigger-happy, murderous, hypocrite.
You’d rather shoot down lives than protect the unprotected.
Insured jewelry will always mean more to you than lives.
You’re spineless, little cowards who cut down the innocent.
Throw your badge in the street.
Throw your gun on the ground.
Throw your uniform in the fire.
Or become part of it
now.
The fires burn.
The smoke rises.
You’re screaming out.
No one’s listening now.
Black flames as a symbol for all the evil you have brought.
Your badge melts in the blaze as your bones turn to ash
and your eyes rolls back, revealing that you were always
just a human, like the rest of us.
Squabbling amongst the other mortals,
though you thought of yourself
as a god of life and death.
Your name now becomes meaningless.
