Standing like a monolith looking down observing
like a god watching his flock
now middle-aged commander of the station
situated near a violent district
here the law had become totally ineffective
cops had changed the perspective!
They showed no mercy none was ever returned
an army in a battle zone
like knights of a distant passed into battle
fully protected by armour
fitted with laser cannons for lethal strikes
in super cars on motorbikes!
Gone those days of hope for individual justice
cops were on the offensive
prisons were often blocked off city districts
law enforcement was privatised
leaving the poor to resolve their disputes
in rubbish and broken statutes!
The law was designed to protect just the rich
from the once equal citizens
governments hidden in protected enclaves
living a privileged existence
future cops hired to administer their bidding
for the rest had become forbidding!
After the predicted collapse of world economies
the mega rich took control
the depression caused more mayhem and war
policing the masses paramount
reverting back to lords and serfs the only rule
between the two sides a duel!
Future cops had become the elites enforcer
as the battle lines were drawn
armies still headed the major fight of nations
but within countries borders
for now they were rulers of their own domain
rebellion growing harder to contain!
The Foureyed Poet.
