Sniper!

Sniper!

Another contract,
Another thrill.
Another criminal,
Another kill.

Now in position,
My heart races.
I range my target,
Among many faces.

There's the mark,
So well protected.
But I'm unique,
My skills perfected.

An impossible shot,
From miles away.
So amateurs think,
Proven wrong today.

I've killed many,
Never keep scores.
Well paid work,
And all outdoors.

A high crosswind,
No problem at all.
All factored in,
Targeting an eyeball.

A low flat angle,
Or high vantage point.
For assured death,
I'm hired to appoint.

Swiss made rifle,
Of precision and grace.
In harmony with me,
You lose your face.

Cruel carbon fibre,
No weight at all.
Hit any target,
Tall or small.

The finest optics,
My deadly sight.
Pure crystal clarity,
Day or night.

Each bullet fired,
Is Teflon coated,
My prey destroyed,
Exploded and noted.

I'm never seen,
Use a flash suppressor.
A head blown off,
Any tyrant oppressor.

Many a dictator,
Has fallen to me.
A country rejoices,
Finally set free.

I work alone,
Well nearly almost.
My rifle and me,
Are the same ghost.

I never breath,
Pulling my trigger.
My bullet flies,
With fatal vigour.

I never miss,
I am the best.
Of standoff killing,
So deadly blessed.

I'm a solitary sniper,
With a loaded gun.
I simply reach out,
And touch someone.

Dedicated to Max for all your moral uplifting support.

Tina again thanks for your superb comment and wrote it short and punchy, stripped down, cut to the chase style. Keep it moving.
And fingers crossed Max might like it to.
And Tina, the best of British and Welsh to you on writing your sequel to your first novel The Garrow King.
A great enthralling journey of a read with embellished ORIGINAL (not cliche) strong characters.
I wish you well on that venture and again good luck to your good self.❤️😃

Hi Shaun! Wow, this was fantastic!!! I love the topic of this one, and I knew I would from the title. I enjoyed how you went through each of the different parts of the rifle and the analogies you used. Awesome poetic structure makes for SUPER engaging and solid write! Again, thanks for the kudos, you`re too kind my friend! Peace and calm waters~ Max
