Self Defense - A Song Poem by Barry Middleton

No, honestly officer
I didn't say fuzz;
I'm just headed for home
to cop a good buzz
and I don't see the harm,
if harm me it do,
it only hurts me
it doesn't hurt you.
If I did a crime
it's one that can save me
from doing much worse
it helps to behave me
and keep me off streets
in the dead of the night
and out of big trouble
and out of big fights.
Now I fight with myself
and what's on my mind
and it gives me a tool
and it gives me some time.
So, honestly officer
I didn't say fuzz;
I'm just headed for home
to cop a good buzz
and I don't see the harm,
if harm me it do,
it only hurts me
it doesn't hurt you.
It doesn't hurt you!
