Raymond Darius Poet I do not know?

Sniper

Sniper 


A shadow on the rooftop 
I blend into the backdrop

I’m sent across the borders
With rifle and my orders

At Company insistence
I drop marks at a distance

Then I return to cover
So my wife won’t discover

The secret life her man leads
She can never know my deeds

I’m not seeking salvation
I’m fighting for this Nation

I find in it no delight
But somebody has to fight

For the safety of this land
I hope God will understand

This is something I must do
To keep the world safe for you

And as new orders arrive
Pray I make it home alive

I the event I should die
I will say one more good-bye
