Assassin

Target identified,
a job to do.
Take it out
by next Friday.
Watch it's moves,
get prepared.
Pick the method,
dry run through.
Check equipment;
all working.

Don't stand out,
merge with the crowd.
A true professional;
a face, a dollar,
nothing personal.

It leaves the hotel,
the time has come.
Words are shot;
a suicide tonight.
Knowledge is lethal,
speech can kill.
