Hunter

Or The Hunted

The hunter or hunted

Perfectly camouflaged

Creating, constructing

Using both weakness and flaws

Innocently shrouded

To keep the target off guard

Hiding in the shadows

Running under the stars

Harnessed emotions

No time left for luck

It’s extremely important

That you never get caught

Always one step ahead

Reading every sign

Gunpowder and lead

Armed with bullets and knives

Adrenaline pumping

Heart pounding out of your chest

Every nerve jumping

So, you take a deep breath

Locate your intention

Lock the prey in your sight

Your training an extension

Readied you for the fight

Squaring your shoulders

Taking your shot

With everything under control

You watch it successfully drop
