1 Asterisk*

An officer in his car patrolling the streets Protecting the city while it sleeps But be advised, there is one Whose deviant acts are never done Do not think they cannot see The treasures that belong to the loved ones of thee They wait for the most unexpected time To carry out their egotistical crime Then comes a loud bang that brings you sheer fright You are asleep at home, in the middle of the night! You are scared and you wonder ‘What is there to do?’ Call that lone officer, he will come to you When the officer arrives, the criminal is concealed But this is the specialty in the officer’s field He makes sure that the citizen is safe and secure And to make sure no injury or trauma was endured The officer calls for backup, but none is en route For a moment this causes confusion and doubt He begins a clean sweep of the building alone With no radio, partner or a cellular phone Suddenly a shadow in front of him appears He draws his weapon and draws the criminal to tears After arresting the criminal and doing a frisk The officer realizes there truly is, ‘One asterisk’
