What I do daily! (Shortened)
Here I am again,
Standing up to fight beiside
my fellow man,
Been training for months
Now we on this plane headed to...
Afghanistan,
The Army is my... J O B
But Killing is my hobby.
Special skills that the Army
has paid thousands of dolars
to train me.
I am a Army Sniper
I had seen a lot of shit here on this battle field
Stuff that the average person,
shouldn't have to see.
I move in the shadows
little to no light,
stepping softly.
Stalking you through the night,
Posted up in my OP
Only to make a sound
When the time is right.
Taking deep breaths
I close my eyes as I exhale
Open to a lazy stare,
lined you up in my cross hairs,
Relax my finger
as I slowly pull my trigger.
Tracing my round as it hits dead center,
I am only off by inches,
from where my round entered.
I adjust my scope.
Recalculate my Dope
Thats(Distance of previous engagement)
for those of your that didnt know,
My spotter calls out a runner,
Dail him in
I place my scope out in front of him
Slowly taking breaths
I charge my rifle
I relax my trigger finger
squeezing it gently
Others looking around
but no one can see me
See I am 1200meters away.
Another successful mission
Soldiers live to see another day
will be able to enjoy another dinner
To the Army I am known as the Closer
But to the locals.......
I am known as the Silent Killer!
