plump berries

Is it worth my while to pretend
to join the police force and thus endure
the loss of all my family and friends;
the power plays from higher ranks and more.
Serve my time as racist Mr Ploddy
and take the tests to rise Sergeant quick
then make a sideways move into the body
Spend five more years of training with a gun
and face the risk of death from every chump;
then a sideways move to sniper to become
a new Lee Harvey Oswald, shooting Trump.
If that's more trouble than you can ever ken
Stop claiming that transwomen are still men.
