You're walking down a
deserted street with your wife
and two small children.

Suddenly, a Terrorist with a huge knife
comes around the corner,
locks eyes with you,
screams obscenities,
raises the knife, and charges at you...

You are carrying a
Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot.
You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
What do you do
That is some of the finest poetry I've ever read. It started out with an obvious haiku influence, then employed shocking imagery as a bridge stanza...leading directly to the haunting conclusion, and the age-old question "what do you do?" What do you do, indeed? Striking.

I think it needs to go in "Creative Expressions."
