They give me sniper,
Saying: „Shot them.
Don’t be afraid that you hurt them.
Don’t think it’s just a game.”

I take that gun.
Looking curious.
Why everybody this way looks?
With blood thirsty hunted eyes?

I aim on friend of mine.
Watch that cross on his chest.
Try to pull trigger,
But no success.

“Shot!
Everything depends on you!”
I hear leader of our group,
Yell in the middle of battle.

“I’m sniper. I muss do it.
But why? It’s just a game!”
I look around me.
What I see terrified me to the end.

Blood, dead and scream of pain,
I see and heard everywhere.
“What I’m doing here?”
I hear myself cry out in pain.

Looking on that cold killer in my hand,
I throw it away.
Curl in side myself on that spot.
Try to protect my life.

I’m selfish I know.
Listening to those yells.
But I can not take life away.
Like mindless soldiers do.

I’m different.
I’m not a soldier.
I wan to find a cure.
For what? I don’t know.

Battle is over now.
I look in a gun.
My friend holds it.
And I know, he will don’t think about it.

I heard a distant shot.
Than nothing.
Only darkness around me.
I sold my life to army.

But that don’t count, now.
I sold my body, not my soul.
I died in battle,
When I try to find a cure.

Cure for hate and wars.
But in army I have no choose.
I go in battle, not knowing only law:
“Kill or be killed.”
I have strange dream lately. In this dream I was in army… or something like that. On opposite side were some of my friends but even in my group were my friends and my family. I was sniper and… I was about to shot one of my former friend. But I can not pull trigger. And than… Somebody yell on me “Shot!” I can not. It was strange…

And from that dream come out this poem… I thing loot of soldiers thinks that they can find a cure for hate and wars… But they are called weaklings. In army and in battle is no place for kindness. Maybe that dream tries to say to me that I’m weak? Or to kind? I don’t know anymore.
