I will go out again tonight, because my God tells me too
I do his bidding and whatever he wishes
He comes to me and he is within plain view
Out of everyone he choose me to fulfill his wishes.

I choose my victims at random
I am so slick, no one will ever suspect me
I am smart, I will never get caught, I;m not that dumb
From my demonic force I never wish to flee.

My God gives me everything I want
In my twisted mind I am doing the right thing
I lurk in the shadows, my victims I never taunt
To my beliefs I will forever cling.

You will never see my face, my method is the gun
Waiting and lurking in the night, until I think I have found the right ones
I do my work at night, never in the day under the shining sun
My victims go about their business, never suspecting the fire of a gun.

So tonight I go out again, because my God tells me to do so
Waiting and lurking for my next victims, so silent, not a sound then BOOM
The sweet sound of my gun as I am hidden from view
See I am the son, Son of Sam.

I think this is one of your best poems. I loved the way you opened the poem making the reader think one thing and then switched abruptly to what the poem was really about. Very clever!

Chilling and intimadating...meant to instill fear in the reader, it seems.  I think this really paints an image of a persona - a very troubling one for anyone who despises murder.  Yet, I am very intrigued by the fact that the person seems to lack full control over their actions - the god being the one really calling the shots.
