gouging away
you bleed us dry again and again
you had it coming
for all the lives you’ve taken
oppression as a hobby
the luxury of threat
power to lie and to dispense
brutality unchecked
your misconduct unreported
covered up by your own peers
accountability non-existent
within your command structure
your abuse has been going on too long
untamed but not unnoticed
the bones you crush beneath your boots
the blood you spill, the broken jaws
the billy clubs and plastic shields
tear gas cans, shackled hands
add up to a mountain of distrust
add up to our widespread disgust
the truth you seek to hide
will eventually override your lies
authority will fall
dragged down by the number of your victims
and when the barrier snaps
you won’t amount to anything
and when we police the police
no one’s gonna save you
from the fury of the formerly peaceful
