Pseudo-Servant

How can one abide
Such a role — where coercion
Guarding bureaucracy
Is your role

Where people must come
Sit, or stand
Answer you
Satisfy you —
To gain — obtain

Drugs — allowances —
To avoid
Their withdrawal
Where you — a servant
Of the law —

Dispense — dish
Push the law — like virus
From morning
Till night
As a prison guard —

Traffic warden — bureaucrat
Judge — police officer
Lawyer
Doctor — in an office

Believing — thinking
Of serving — the one — across
Down
Being yanked — from above
Behind

By law —
Your master — their prescriptions
Confinements
Benefits — food vouchers
Appointment schedules —

Product of law — behind a desk
In an office —
Pseudo-shaman — semi-judge
Respected drug dealer
Pseudo-servant —

Bureaucrat —
Working — neither
For another — nor
For oneself —

But the noose —
Around one's neck — ensuring
No one —
Escapes — the law
