 LAMENTATION OF A POLICEMAN  By: CSP Lawan Jimeta

 Gloomily sit I, gazing afar;

Gazing afar, far ahead,

Today again, just like yesterday,

My comrade died or is killed!

Yes, Today like yesterday;

A widow, an orphan is made, clear.

O! Death why more my clan, the police!

For why do you strike me, alone!

Yet I must smile and work,

Not minding the scorn,

Forget also the ridicule,

Not even the outright, assault.

Protect the society, I must, a must!

Yet another comrade must lie;

Buried, buried and forgotten.

For how long this sadness must continue!

Thus lament I the police.
