Poem Commentary

This is the third entry in my assassin/hunter/mercenary set of poems. It was a fun piece to write.

Phantom

Those who seek will not find me -
None live to recall my face.
I can blend with any crowd
And not seem out of place.

I am a ghost among men,
A shadow in the night -
The right hand of Death,
I remain out of sight.

I am the whisper in the wind,
The chill up your spine;
By the time you notice me
Your life will already be mine.

Unrighteous ones be wary
For thy wrongs of the past
I will rectify with my blade, and
Make your next breath your last!

Thanks for the comment!

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
