Vee Bdosa Poet Sonnet

The Sniper

SARAJEVO 1994-95 - the sniper
He hides behind the dirty window pane
with eyes all cold and void of any care 
in blinding heat or through a drizzle rain
his thoughts are only what has brought him there.

His mind's not thinking that's a special friend,
nor is that girl in love; he doesn't care;
the choice comes on with no thought of the end
and made, perhaps, because she's standing there.

His sight is set, and all she'll ever be
gives way to things her life will never know,
and when she falls and lays there helplessly,
his only thought is she was quick to go.

     All in a breath, he's layed her to the street;
     and ended life to make his day complete.
