			American Policemen |

				Misdeeds were put here as a test for mankind 
				And to many race down the wrong path. 
				Greed, hate, lust and perversion are Satan's tools 
				In his workshops of corruption and wrath. 
				 
				Rape, robbery, murder, and assault 
				Are committed by the dishonest night and day. 
				Thank God for those who line up to protect 
				The principles of justice, honor and fair play. 
				 
				Where would we be without valiant policemen 
				Who patrol our neighborhoods and streets? 
				Risking their life and limb on the line 
				Arresting thieves, killers, drug dealers, perverts and cheats. 
				 
				To many officers become victims of divorce 
				Products of occupational danger and strain. 
				Never knowing when they say good by 
				If it's their day to be crippled or slain. 
				 
				It takes a brave soul to become a good cop 
				Risking everything for little praise and pay. 
				It's true that some may abuse their badge 
				But for the majority we gratefully pray. |  By Tom Zart
