The Sniper
Shoot straight,
Don’t let your gaze stray,
Breath slow and measured,
Frame the mark in the sun’s rays.
Make a bead,
Feel the wind,
Clear your mind,
All but this rescind.
Take it slow,
Think ahead,
Know the moment
To release that deadly lead.
No time to ponder
None for regrets,
You’ve done your duty
In terminating threats.
You’re the archangel
Of right and might
The gavel of justice,
Our enemy’s blight.
