Informer’s Catechism

Left or right,
it’s all the same;
when they squeeze you,
you’ll give a name.
It’s done for a hit,
it’s done for a meal;
so someone gets nailed,
so what’s the big deal?
Ethics are swell,
but only up to a point;
it’s you or them, matey,
facing time in the joint.
Sure you feel bad,
but what can you do?;
informers are people
they have feelings too.

Chopping up the logic’s
just a matter of degree;
when they come a-knocking, pal,
it’s either you or me.
It’s done with lousy dollars,
it’s accomplished with dire threats;
when they haul you off
I’ll be the first to send regrets.
You’ll do it for a smoke,
you’ll do it for a drink;
it’s nothing personal, you know,
so who you calling fink?
Talk all you want ’bout principles
or saving your own skin;
informers have fam’lies to feed
that’s why you got turned in.

You can do it for religion,
you can do it for the flag;
just make sure your reasons
will fit the size of a toe tag.
You can do it for the war,
you can do it for world peace;
whatever works for you
will also work for the police.
What you call necessity
I call base cowardice;
but what we all fall back on, is:
mind your own business.
Ten years is what I got
for your rotten bowl of soup --
best wishes from your chums
at the informer’s support group.

Loved to read your blog. I would like to suggest you that traffic show most people read blogs on Mondays. So it should encourage blogger to write new write ups over the weekend primarily.
Great post! Interesting information and cute writing style.
