A Part of America Died
Somebody killed a policeman today...and a part of America died. A piece of our country he swore to protect will be buried with him at his side.
The suspect who shot him will stand up in court with counsel demanding his rights - while a widow and mother must work for the kids and spend many long lonely nights.
The streets where he worked was a battlefield too...Just as if he's gone off to war...though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast.
Somebody killed a policeman today...it happened in your town and mine - while we slept in comfort behind our locked doors, a cop put his life on the line...now his ghost has the beat on a dark city street...and he stands at each rookie's side...a cop answered the call...of himself gave his all...and a part of America died.
