Sight of death

Someone has to do it

With deep breath

Steady movements

Ease away the pain

As it swell in your chest

look down the scope 

Look into their eyes

Hold your breath

Just one moment

Just one twitch

Your job is done

A man has lost his life

None expected it

Not him

Not his wife

Not his children

What have I done

Playing god

Taking lives

As if I hold justice

For this I am punished

I doesn't get harder

It only gets easier

A sniper in the army, his first mission.....

A very emotional piece...I'm sure these are the kinds of things a sniper or any soldier has going through their mind at the time...well done :)

Nice piece of work... I love the line, "Playing God."
