See Wahala: Nigeria Police Force's Published Poem

What irony!

LAMENTATION OF A POLICEMAN

Gloomily sit I, gazing afar;
Gazing afar, far ahead,
Today again, just like yesterday,
My comrade died or is killed!
Yes, Today like yesterday;
A widow, an orphan is made, clear.
O! Death why more my clan, the police!
For why do you strike me, alone!
Yet I must smile and work,
Not minding the scorn,
Forget also the ridicule,
Not even the outright, assault.
Protect the society, I must, a must!
Yet another comrade must lie;
Buried, buried and forgotten.
For how long this sadness must continue!
Thus lament I the police.
