Within His Presence

"You know you're really quite charming
when you're not killing people."...from
a movie called "Hitman".

A professional,
paid to kill,
thats all there is
to live for
when you're a hitman.
Taking notes and mental images,
one of the most important things
is a source of information,
and inbetween the action
is the weapons training
and a level of fitness
that will determine who
will breathe the last breath
to those that come face to
face within his presence.
Many have tried
but few have survived
the darkness
of the night,
the rigor and might
of this hitman.

Thank you Artic Wind and Roniece for the nice responses...
Roniece I've read a few books lately about Mobsters and Hitmen...they are "The Jackal" by John Follain and "Sinatra" by Anthony Summers and I also watch movies about assasins and hitmen, other than that...if I was moonlighting as a hitman I couldn't tell you or you might want to hire me to take care of your boss or something...just joking...James

You touch upon a disquieting truth here, dear James.
For sure one day also the hitman will be hit by one far more powerful than he could ever assume to be.
Good job.

love
