American Sniper A Poem By Darryl Mason 1. "Kill one man, terrorise a thousand" the instructor had pointed to the sign on the wall at the school where I learned to kill Camp Pendleton , California it didn't have a fancy name, this school like 'tactical depopulation training' we called it what it was Sniper School three months training then they sent me here "Kill one man, terrorise a thousand" he smiled when he read the sign to me my scores were good he told me he was proud of me never heard a man say that to me before I see him now still tapping that sign to a roomful of kids who are now mostly dead "Kill one man, terrorize a thousand" That's what the sign said So I learned it and I loved it and now I'm living it 2. a rooftop in Fallujah came in by helicopter Black Hawk at full crank flying low enough to collect television aerials others in my squad are on other buildings on other rooftops close by we're alone here not enough of us
