I am the Man.

I have been where you fear to be,
I have seen what you fear to see,
Done what you fear to do.
All these things I have done for you.

I am the Man you lean upon,
The Man you cast your scorn upon.
The Man you bring your troubles to.
All these Men I've been for you.

The Man you call, The Man In Blue,
Is just a man, a man like you.

And through the years I've come to see
I cannot be all you ask of me.
So take this badge, and take this gun.
Will you take it? Will Anyone?

And when you watch a person die,
When you hear a battered baby cry,
Then do you think that you can be
All these things you ask of me?

Great poem Sara!! Did you compose it, or copy it?
If you're the author and there are no other entries in the next few days, you'll be the winner of the coveted prize.

You teach your kids to call me pig,the mean ol man in blue.They do not know that I gaurd them,that I gaurd you too.Its always where are you when we need you,the thought never crossed your mind.I'm out on the hunt,looking for prey the law breaking kind.I have a family of my own,and maybe I do not..Yet still I protect and cater to your endless whining snot.I am like a babysitter when no one gets along.you beat each other senseless,then one picks up the phone.I come to your aid,listen to mindless chatter..Yet the problems that I see,and deal with are things that 'do not matter'.For you will raise your children to be just like you.blame it all on me,yet call the man in blue.
