...they tried to turn my sharp vison into their shadowy weapon.

...wanted to blind my focus with metals and ribbons.

when the high test scores became reality, they wanted to see fatalities as proof of unearned loyalty...but something about their energy never sat quite right with me.

perched in my nest, they chirruped "show youre the best", and the tone of command tightened my chest.

disable?, i checked...

"eliminate the threat"

i only see a family and head taps are for zombies, i dared to quip

"however you need to see them to make a clean hit"

their calm cool cruelty i could not take, and the price they asked i could not pay.

...i smashed my scope and walked away, making my head the target the very same day.
