Bury The Sniper : Narrative Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

 

The unseen sniper waits like a deadly virus waiting to strike.

Looking out for some innocent victim through his infrared sight  .

Crawling over rooftops in the night pointing his gun at our heads ,

But he can't see what's coming  . Justice and truth are the things he dreads .

He squats , finger on the trigger , he's a killer at the ready

Bang !

Single shots ring out .

Bang !

He tries to hold his weapon steady .

What does he think as his victims fall .

Are they equal in his sight ?

It's a snipers pride must decide , as if by some God given right .

Master of life and death he walks over the seventh commandment .

Bury the sniper until the dead shall rise .

Will he ever repent ?
