The Policemen

That Friday afternoon
Two motorcycle cops,
Dressed to intimidate
Arrived at my front door.

Before discussing my complaint
He ordered me to control my dog,
Who was simply standing by my side..

It was not a request,
Nor were any further comments he made.
Both men refused to remove their dark glasses,

They left after advising me
That I could be put in jail
If they thought it appropriate,
And never did listen to my concern.

Dressed in black,
They never smiled,
Completing the hackneyed stereotype,
Assigned to them by movie legend.

Which side of civilization,
Do they represent?
If guardians, who was beginning guard?
