Respect

By h2whoa

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Should they try to run, If they try to hide, We will track them down, Like we've done a thousand times before. If they beg for mercy, Or plead for their lives, We'll butcher them where they stand, Or where they kneel on the floor. Don't ask for compassion, Don't expect us to forget, We're too professional for that: You mean nothing to us. But if you try to fight us, Prove you really want to live, Then even if you lose the struggle we might just Have enough respect to spare you the Bullet.
