Someone Killed A Policeman Today
By Anonymous
Someone killed a policeman today
And a part of America died…
And a piece of our country which he swore to protect
Will be buried with him at his side.
The beat that he walked was a battlefield too,
Just as if he had gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation won’t fly at half mast,
To his name they will add a gold star.
The suspect that shot him will stand up in court
With counsel demanding his rights,
While a young, widowed mother must work hard for kids
And spend many long, lonely nights.
Yes, someone killed a policeman today,
Maybe in your hometown or mine,
While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors
A cop put his life on the line.
Now his ghost walks the beat on a dark city street
And he stands by each new rookies side.
He answered the call, of himself gave his all
And a Part of America Died!
