SniperA Poem by TravelinAlaskanMy life is hard, from start to end. First basic, and Buds, then all the brotherly love. Weeks turn months, and months to years, for the skills I hone, are made to kill. Orders are given, a mission to achieve, one man enters so one less will breathe. Endless drills, and equipment prep. All this work, for one attempt.

Dope is dialed, 15.8 minutes, a 1/2 mill left. Breathing paused and heart rate slowed, the shot breaks clean and unopposed. Time of flight is 1.5, I see the strike, it's un denied.

Once pasted bye, I move with tact. My actions counter, the final act.
