A tribute to law enforcement officers across the world who sometimes face their own tombstone moment. Dedicated to friends in the profession of keeping us safe.

I am not the best of vocalists and being in a brutal Southern Hemisphere winter does not make things easier, nevertheless thanks for listening

The last rays

of the setting sun

Casting shadows

on the porch

knowing that my

chores are done

reflecting on my

darkest thoughts

And my glass

of what Ive done

To a man with

I curse the day

I chose the badge

Took an oath
