POLICE AND DETECTIVES

 Doubtful at times
 Other times synical
 The English seem normal
 Follow procedures, but
 Bring in someone from Cockney
 And all the stories and directions change
  
 Emotion becomes a lost element
 Reality is now the kingpin
 Banging on the side is real
 Alibiing and excuses emerge
 An affair may be crying out
 Or possibly a cover up
  
 Police keep trudging
 Looking for the truth, because
 This is a life and death matter
 Soon the truth emerges; people dead; arrested
 Others involved have destroyed relationships
 Never to be reconciled 
  
 New evidence opens 
 New cans of worms
 Improbable avenues are opened
 Incidents from the past become pertinent
 Lies and distractions mislead police and detectives
 The worst is expected to come
  
 Clues come together at last and resolution is close
 But working with a pathological liar 
 Is not an easy assignment
 Especially when another life is at stake
 Time is of the essence 
 British intuition takes over
  
 Cockney determination
 Individual instincts persevere
 A confession is given
 But too late to save a life
 That is the way
 The determined keep working
