The Sniper Final Chapter Poem by DARK SIDE

THERE WAS A JAIL BREAK TONIGHT
IN CELL BLOCK EIGHT
WHERE THE SNIPER STAYS
AND NOW THE COPS AND THEIR DOGS
ALL LOOKING FOR HIM EVERYDAY
HOPING THE SNIPER DIDN'T GET FAR
OR GOT IN SOMEONE'S CAR
SO JUST IN CASE THEY STOP
ALL IN COMING AND OUT GOING TRAFFIC
SEARCHING WITH THEIR LIGHT'S
CHECKING ALL CARS
AND ALL THE OTHER POSSIBLE SIGHT'S
THE SNIPER MIGHT BE HIDING IN
TO GET HIM THROUGH THE NIGHT
BUT THE COPS STILL HAD NO LEADS OR ANY CLUES
OF WHERE HE MIGHT BE
EVEN THE CHOPPER LOOKING FROM THE SKY
WAS HOPING HE WOULD BE RUNNING ON BY
BUT NOTHING MOVE TONIGHT,
NOW TOMORROW IS HERE
AND 'THE SNIPER COULD BE ANY WHERE'
SAID THE SHERIFF,
NOW LATER THAT DAY ON A WARM AFTERNOON
THE SKY WAS CLEAR
WHERE YOU COULD SEE SHADES OF THE MOON
A GUY WALKS IN
HE WENT TO THE REAR OF THE BUILDING
AND UP STAIRS TO THE ROOF
WITH A LONG BAG ON HIS SHOULDERS
HE WALKS TO THE LEDGE LEANING ON OVER
LOOKING ON DOWN
AND WITH HIS SCOPE HE CHECKS THE VIEW AROUND
TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE DOWN THERE
AND TO SEE WHO HE COULD TAKE OUT
SCREAMING HIS FAMOUS WORDS FROM HIS MOUTH
' I AM THE SNIPER I AM GOD,
I AM THE SNIPER
AND I DECIDE WHO LIVES AND WHO DIES
AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP ME
IS TO KILL ME'
AT LEAST WE BOTH CAN AGREE
SO HE PULLED OUT HIS RIFLE,
HE AIMED AND FIRED
HITTING A LITTLE OLD MAN WALKING
THEN HE AIMED AND FIRED AGAIN
HITTING A WOMAN ON CELL PHONE TALKING
THEN HE LOOKED TO THE RIGHT
THEN THE LEFT HITTING A JOGGER JOGGING ON BY
HE SCREAMED OUT
' I AM THE SNIPER
I AM GOD, I AM THE SNIPER,
AND I DECIDE WHO LIVES AND WHO DIES
THE ONLY WAY TO STOP ME
IS TO KILL ME'
AT LEAST WE BOTH CAN AGREE
WELL THE COPS WERE CALLED
SWAT RUSHED IN GOT SET UP AND WAS READY
WAITING ON THE WORD, THERE FINGERS STEADY
TELLING THE COMMANDER, WE ARE READY TO KILL,
THEY BEGAN TO SHOOT
THE SNIPER DUCKED THEN FIRED BACK
FIRING ALL HIS ROUNDS
THE SNIPER SCREAMIED OUT ONCE AGAIN
'I AM THE SNIPER I AM GOD
I AM THE SNIPER AND DECIDE TO LIVES AND DIES
AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP ME IS TO KILL ME'
AT LEAST WE BOTH CAN AGREE
THEN HE FIRES HIS FINAL ROUNDS
HE STANDS UP
THE COPS SHOOT HIM DOWN
A HUNDRED BULLETS
TORE THROUGH HIM
THEY GET HIM AND BRING HIM DOWN
IN A BODY BAG
LAYING HIM ON THE GROUND
BEFORE THEY PUT HIM IN THE VAN
WHILE THE OTHER VICTIMS
WERE BEING TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL
WOUNDED BUT NOT DEAD
THE PARAMEDICS SAID
THIS FINAL CHAPTER WAS OVER.
