I want to See Your Hands

There is 
a reason
cops
say they
want to see
Your hands

I had a prisoner
once
tried
to stab
me
with a
shank

When we
asked
to see
his
hands

He stated
he
had
nothing
to
hide

When I
Insisted
up
comes
a
BIG OLD SHANK
made
from
a toothbrush

There is
a
reason
behind
everything

Trust
was 
lost
long
ago

Remember that

Unfortunately
the trust
was lost
on both
sides
of the
fence............................
