Sniper

A Poem by TravelinAlaskan

My 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.
I settle in my FFP, to patiently wait, and let him, come, to me.
My time is spent drawing a map, Recording info to relay back.
The target is here it's time to act, slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
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.
One heart stops among surprise.
Now hunter is hunted, with no mercy shown.
My exfil blocked, I cannot go.
The enemies close, but they cannot find, I bunker in place, tell opportune time.
Once pasted bye, I move with tact.
My actions counter, the final act.
