Nobody Knows

By Dioris Arlequin

Nobody knows the torment of a cop
When you see a human being take his own life
Or when a person is bludgeoned by a knife
In a crime of passion the husband slays his wife
Everyday seeing misery and strife

Nobody knows the nighttime of a cop
When he sees people killing each other
The lifeless eyes of someone’s mother
Brother killing brother

Nobody knows how he takes care of the
victims as they were his own family
After all of these years of confronting
the darkness of life
He still has faith in humanity
