Bang, bang he shot them down

Bang, bang he shot them down

A Poem by Huw

The cross hairs

were still in view

when he closed

his eyes and dozed

seemingly printed 

inside his eye lids

The T shot

had been sought

and achieved

many times

the slow ones

were the first to go

dead before

they hit the ground

the fast ones ran

into an eight foot lead

at six hundred meters

the result was the same

instant death

from severe

physical, nerve

destroying, trauma

and another one bites

the dust as the man said.

 

(USMC sniper who took out

32 insurgents in Fallujah).

I've been commenting on someone's drawings for a couple of months and she asked if I was a published poet. It made me laugh because I'd left school at 13 years old and never completed formal education.. more..
