Cowardice is shameful
A liars trait.
Where is the honour of a thief.

The silent assassin
Moves as one with a shadow
Stripping the innocent victim of her breath.

A mother
A grandmother
A wife
A mortal, harmless, defenseless woman.

What good can come of killing this woman.
Flat on her back, staring at the ceiling
Lifeless
Numb.

If your biting bullets,
Your spitting blood.
Its inexcusable.
Its unforgivable.
