Officer
Officer, all I wanted was some bread, To feed my family so close to famine. Officer, why are you wishing me dead? I only wanted to ask for someone else’s help. Is it a crime to question the way you’ve been led? Camouflage arose instead of coats in this cruel time. Officer, I just wanted to get up from bed And test my luck on the road with a job so genuine. Officer, tell me, should we really be begging to be fed?
