Humanity

I was an assassin in the kings army

I had special training to kill everybody

We saw our target in the small window

But he saw us warriors looking for him


I pointed my crossbow at his safe spot

But he held a little girl in his arms

I did not shoot, I could not take the shot

He ran, but I left with my humanity
