Sniper

I'm am up on the cliff lying down prone
tossing some sticks throwing some stones
until i heard him say get ready
then i aim my rifle steady
He said wait!
as i lined up the dot 
he said now!!
as i fired the shot
as the bullet hit we seen an expressionless face
we got up and ran at a very fast pace 
as we were going home i thought back to that moment
he had a family but i had to own up to it
Because we are grunts and are done what we are told 
even when we don't want to But that's a burden we must hold 
because we were trained that way 
and that way we will stay.
