Sniper Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Sniper



The Sniper

The man who in his delusion shot and killed Kyle
the all American sniper who boasted of killing
167 Arabs. A film was made and USA applauded
and no doubt it will receive an Oscar.
A movie that totally lack empathy, what does one
expect of a Clint Eastwood, only this sniper Kyle
was for real and not a western invention.

Is this a war movie? Deeply disturbing morality,
killing for the sake of it. Our hero Kyle found his
death on the shooting range and the man who
killed him was an American soldier too who put
an end to our false gods and war values, for him
a lethal injection awaits the killer of the American dream.
