Very Thought provoking as usual. Transference of life to a shadow. Is it so he can not feel remorse

Exactly! I’m very pleased you got it! Its true to, soldiers are taught to dehumanize their enemy to make their task easier.

Wow. This has so much power and makes you feel the pain, but also takes you out of it at the end. I think you did exactly as you set out to do.

Impactful.

I can’t imagine taking another persons life.

I think that’s why it’s so easy to value, If you can take away your targets meaning, performing your task should be so easy as killing a fly.

You enlighten on how it’s even possible to take the human out of killing a person. Very well done!

Haunting stuff, you make a good point.
I especially like the repetition of ‘The fragile face’, as to me it connects the killer with the one being killed and it structures the poem well, being exactly halfway through.
