My Job: Will O'Brien, policeman
By Ryan FitzgeraldI met a woman
Old as dirt
Yet nice as the morning sun,
Living where some considered
The worst part of town
Yet somehow
She finds time
To knit me a sweater
Of dark green string
Straight from the soul
Officer Bill O’Brien
By Alexandra GordonMy job is so exhausting,
I don’t have time for parenting!
Maybe my wife should try fighting crime,
and I can stay home all day wasting time.
All she does is cook and shop and clean,
I don’t understand how it’s difficult to do those things.
O’Brien, 35: Patrol officer
By Emma Van LieshoutWalking up and down every street,
Every day – thump, thump, thump
Go my boots.
Walking past the park
Every day – thump, thump, thump
Goes the wino’s stereo.
About My Life
By Brady BarnesI messed up with my life
Now I get held with a knife
I am out here trying to survive
I’m glad I’m still alive
I sit in JDC
Thinking how my life is going to be
My dad told me I would be aborted
To my mom I was important
