The sun shone brightly. <br />A busy high street, <br />basking in tranquillity. <br /> <br />They stood face to face <br />on the pedestrianised square. <br />His face darkly despondent, <br />eyes averting. <br />She strident, angry. <br /> <br />A few words drifted <br />across the crisp air. <br />You said........again..... <br />No...not what I meant <br />.........you always...... <br /> <br />She like a sniper <br />rifling home her points <br />He a terrorist? <br />Or innocent, in the wrong place, <br />at the wrong time? <br /> <br />Many passed by <br />untouched by the incident, <br />and Life shone <br />silently.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sniper-on-the-high-street/
