A Modern Warriors Sestina

How did you find me here ghost I thought I was done with your haunting My Uncle told me you were my enemy I know I left you in Baghdad Yet here you are this night But I still have no fear No. it is I you shall fear For I am the slayer of the ghost I am the one who goes bump in the night Don’t you forget, I am the one who does the haunting Remember your dance with this devil dog in Baghdad I am still your worst enemy Besides, I forgave you, my enemy For what, I am not sure, but I must admit I admired your lack of fear That ugly, dusty night on that roof top in Baghdad Now let us go our separate ways ghost And agree to put an end to the haunting Please go now, in to the night I mean, I will let you to be this night For I no longer consider you my enemy Not this day, but one day ghost, I will put an end to my haunting As I have promised you so many times, I will stop putting others in fear Leave me now and you and I will be in peace ghost I was sure the therapy left you in Baghdad Yet here you are two clicks from Kabul, a long way from Baghdad This mission does not concern you on this cold night I wish you would let me be, so I can focus on the task at hand ghost I have moved on now and I beg you do the same, for Sam found me a new enemy You would be proud of this one too, for he also shows no fear Please let me be, and stop the haunting No? Then tonight, together, we must do the haunting We can be on the same team, unlike Baghdad Together, we will show no fear Not us, not on this night For they are now our enemy Cover my six ghost I dream of days before I met you, my self-created demon, days of innocence and laughter all gone; wow did I grow up fast in that sand box. Now here we are haunting this new land, high in the Hindu Kush on this frigid night. Together on this mountain, nations away from that home you once called Baghdad, within ear shot of our new common enemy. We are so close now demon I can smell ‘em; show no fear my constant companion, for you shall soon have some company. Perhaps their aim will be truer than yours and it will be me this time ghost.
