The Silhouette
It was a quiet night,
The Officer was on foot patrol checking business's ,
armed with only his gun, and a flashlight.
He came across a building with an open door,
his first thought was I have no back up and
if need be could dispatch hear me call 10-24.
The open door he entered through,
with flashlight on and his gun drew.
At the rear of the building he saw a flash of light,
and a silhouette holding a gun tight.
He fired shots a total of three,
then to take cover behind a desk and dropped to one knee.
With his adrenaline was pumping, he slowly eased around desk,
he told himself thank God I wore my vest,
because it was the only thing holding his heart in his chest.
As he drew nearer,
he could not believe the silhouette he had shot at
was himself in a mirror.
