A Policeman's Fate

Updated: Dec 8, 2020

He walks onto an empty street

Heart heavy on the cold concrete

Saying a prayer to get through the day

Looking to the sky while seeing sun rays

His radio chimes in about a disturbance at the local mall

Powering up blue lights as he heads towards the brawl

Bodies lying on the floor while two men are at war

Screaming and pointing while each other swore

Pushing and shoving while holding knives

Risking other people’s lives

The officer calls for backup and assembles a team

Each member carefully walks into the building while clearing the scene

Helping people to safety as the men spat through

Their senseless debut

Noticing their enemy, the men draw out a gun

Shooting their target then dash in a run

One officer down and put into emergency care

You can train for the event, but even first responders are never fully prepared

The wife of the cop receives a visit from the deputy

She cannot withstand the intensity

Covering her face, she lets out a cry

Hugging her chest, she says her final goodbyes

Lives end abruptly in this line of work

Please, treats cops respectably and wipe off your smirks

This is a picture of my husband and my son from October of 2018.
