The call came in, a demand from the station
To come down and discuss, a matter of importance
But no details were given, just an ominous request
To appear without reason, to face the unknown test
I felt a shiver, a sense of unease
Why would they summon me, if not to appease
Their own suspicions, their own hidden agenda
I knew I had to be cautious, I couldn\'t surrender
I called them back, demanded some clarity
But all I got was threats, a show of authority
They warned of sirens blaring, of a public display
A tactic to intimidate, to force me to obey
I stood my ground, I refused to comply
I knew my rights, I wouldn\'t be swayed by their lie
I informed them of my lawyer, of my right to representation
They hesitated, backpedaling from their intimidation
Finally, the truth emerged, a simple summons to court
Nothing criminal, just a formality of sorts
Yet the taste of their tactics, the fear they tried to induce
Left a bitter aftertaste, a distrust of their abuse
So I urge you, be wary, when the police come knocking
Don\'t be swayed by their tactics, don\'t be cowed by their talking
Stand up for your rights, demand the truth be revealed
And never face the unknown, until all is unsealed. (\"Fear Tactics\") by Courtney Weaver Jr.
