Target Spotted

Today was funny
a guy looked at a bunny
even though the day was sunny
his eyes were runny

I asked him what's wrong
his wife died in Hong Kong
it's been very long
but he can still hear the melody of her song

I sat at his side
as my heart opened wide
I told him I've never lied
it was the truth but I didn't tell why

We sat like that for a while
leaves forming a pile
seeing autumn for another mile
he was actually my target file

But his life I spared
that I dared
to my eyes he glared
but my stories I shared

He didn't deserve to die
not only many people walking by
but I didn't know why
his soul was sentenced to fly

But it's not my case
I just needed to shoot a face
but he has a purpose in this race
not even I can keep up with his pace

Away I shall not shove
for he can still love
looking at a dove
another day above

Never judge somebody if you do not know their story, if you do not know the pictures in their books or the voices written down on endless papers. We all have problems, we only deal with them in different ways.
