PPK w/ silencer


Poem Artwork

For a living he’s killed,
At his business he’s very skilled,
A silenced Walther his weapon of choice,
So many governments for his services, he’s billed…

He roams the world; no place does he call home,
He’s fought in wars too numerous to mention,
He learned his skill set in Special Forces,
His only relaxation, his horses…

He can kill with weapons or bare hands,
He’s traveled to many distant & violent lands,
No one knows his real name,
You’d think that this life might drive him insane?

I think that mercenary must have no conscience; must be a sociopath. But I am not an expert. Love and peace to you, Ed.

It would have me. 4 months of combat left me a mental wreck for many years after.

Tom got it wrong. You say he worked for "many countries." James Bond only worked for one and he wasn't an assassin.

It's extremely easy to kill someone. Especially with a pistol at close range with a silencer. However, a man here in Houston tried yesterday, firing probably 50 rounds or more at innocent bystanders on the street and in a parking lot, mostly in cars. He injured nine people, one critically, one seriously, and the rest with lesser injuries. He was shot dead by the police. The reason so many were not killed was that he shot them through their car windows. The window glass probably deflected the bullets so that they missed their target although there were a lot of minor glass cuts from shattered safety glass.

His dream of Nazi glory was a dud and snuffed out quickly. Suicide by police?
