- With Ease- by Keaton Foster

In my scope, he appears
Certainly less of a man
More beast than anything else
Or so I have told
By those who control my reins
I have been sent to kill him
I will not fail
I am a consummate professional
In this, a battle of attrition
A life for a life, set on a stage
Of epidemic proportions
Killer or be killed placed in
Ridiculous circumstances
The distance between him and I
Couldn't be any greater
However, such distance is insignificant
For me doing what I must
Has become an informal act
No mercy, no sympathy, no regret
Easy killings
If such a thing should ever be
My empathy pulled up
And left town a long time ago
This is about him or me
Life and death
In such a twisted relationship
Right and wrong
Do not belong
It is all about timing
Both his and mine
Whether it is he that is in the wrong place
Or it is me that is in the wrong place
Matters none
With ease
I place my crosshairs upon his chest
From such a distance
I can almost hear his heart beat
I am sure that he hears nothing of me
If he did, if he could, if he had a chance
He would flee, run for his life, hide away
But he does not escape his doom
He stands completely still
Easy pickings
I count down his end
Breathe, relax, aim, and squeeze
Bang!
Down range hurdles death
Easily cracking the air between
The sound of my gun
The noise of his end
Will never be heard by him
Only me
And those within proximity
Just as the round finds its home
A split second before his heart explodes
He looks at me, or so it seems
Our eyes meet between the distance
I say a small prayer for him
As well as myself
Death slams into him
He never stood a chance
I am just too damn good
At killing men like him
From such an impersonal distance
He falls to the ground like bag of stones
To his feet he will never again be
He is dead, and seemingly,
So am I…
