I am no longer a Policeman
By Rattle_Spear
29 November 2005
In everyones life there is a time to come; A time to go and a time to fade away!

"There's No Rest For The Wicked"

I gave it up seven years ago.
I have handed in my gun and badge.
I have been out of the cross fire since 1997.
So, please have mercy and do not bother me!

I am a humble, private Citizen now.
I have played my part with pride.
I gave the job my soul and heart and had nothing to hide.
I bear the scars of battle.
My body took its toll.
All I want is peace and quiet.
To mend my resting, ailing soul!

Please contact 911 in a crisis.
Please call your local cops.
Phone your private security service. . .. . .
Why don't they come out tops?

for some reason this line doesn't seem to fit, although the poetry and them is very well done. The TITLE is especially good. The BEGINNING sets it up wel, the VOICE is excellent, and I enjoyed the STYLE. 
 
If you let the nest to last line drift you need to use three dots separated by a space. Also you have the word you when you mean your. Very good.
Soory I can't spell phne or your either

Thanks for the great advice..... 
 
Imagine a perfect poem, or even a perfect world for that matter? 
 
You must all enjoy a fabulous New Year, Good Health & good writing! 
 
Yes, you should really be ‘your’
