He's my brother

On bended knee by his side,
My brother lies on the cold ground.

Life so precious passes by,
No tranquillity in shattering sound.


He fell to earth like Icarus,
my brother lofted high with expectation.

No more to share bonds of trust,
This gaping wound grounded all sensation.


Heavy not his body carried,
My brother needs my strength and all.

Slow our progress I never tarry,
Return him to the home he did call.

One final salute by his grave,
Brother in arms no more in sorrow or pain.

Here I am old and world worn,
Eternally young in sacrifce he remains.

Thankyou recruit7, I am with you I am a police officer and I'd be suprised if ever get a thanks. Yet I know that thanks may not come, I don't give up cause that would bring no honor to our hard work. To all those who serve Armed Forces, Police, Fire, Rescue, National Guard. A salute to us.

@blackelk7373 this is not the fault of police officers you know

[blackelk7373]

@MrFearless4 r.i.p. Alberto, sorry to hear about him. This country we live in has changed. Ive worked hard as fuck my whole life to put my little bro and sis through college. Rarely spendin money on myself because my parents cant work. I got convicted of a felony charge in 03 for defendin myself against a drunk asshole. He had alot of money for a good lawyer so the judge threw the book at me. All that time spent in prison, in custody of police exc...these cops are the real terrorists,not muslims

@blackelk7373 So you are a convicted felon. I bet yu are blaming the police for this, right?

[kholleran74]

@Ferrari450GT gl 2 u 2 thx

[Ferrari450GT]

@blackelk7373 I understand you dont like us and I cant say I dont blame you, cause you have probably had some pretty gory runins with the police. I can handle many things its just I thought you came from a differant story, but not the one you have explained to me. I credit highly your work ethic its a hard and job. You may not see mine that way but I can guaranty you it is. I wish to argue with you no more. Good luck.. Stay Safe

[blackelk7373]

@Ferrari450GT I am a convicted felon so I have an insight into police you have only heard of. Dont be so naive to think cops are there to help. They are there to collect money by any means necesary. I have never and will never call a cop under an circumstance. As a man if you cant handle things on your own you arent fit to be alive. Ive worked construction since high school. I graduated in 96. Ive never met anyone with a work ethic like mine, but you do more in 1 minute than my whole life..liar
