All Cops Aren’t Bastards

I don't know
Maybe you had to have been there
Seen the fireball up close
The searing, glaring horror of it
To understand
How no one in their right mind
Would run into it
Think they could stop it
Or do anything other than run
Keep running
And never stop
It's why I can never say
With any real conviction
That ACAB
And that's probably a good thing
For humanity's sake
And for those with the caliber 
Of bravery required
To run into an inferno
To sacrifice oneself to the gods
To leave behind all that love
For the principle 
Of the right to live
