I've killed men in my day. I've killed them for money. For reasons only the mega corporations knew. I've killed them to survive another night. Someone once said, Life's a dance you learn as you go...sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow. Yeah, ain't that the truth.

More recently I've killed for the man upstairs. No I don't mean some suit in a tall office building of one of those mega corporations back home in Seattle. No, I mean the big man upstairs. I mean God. Yeah, some have said I'm crazy. Some have said I've finally lost it. But consider this for a moment. Is it not written in the book of old, of how entire cities were destroyed for him' Destroyed because those with in them were dubbed evil" Armies marched with The Ark of the Covenant to such cities. Leaving them in ruin. All in the name of going a good thing. Never shall innocent blood be shed, yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river.

A just cause. Been so long since I've done anything even close to being considered a Just Cause in this life. Funny how he picks those to be his right hand, ain't it' But perhaps picking a killer is how it's meant to be? Who better to spill the blood of the wicked then one with the skills to do such a task? I've killed men before. I've killed for reasons not my own. Now, I have the reason and the ability.

Destroy that which is evil, so that which is good may flourish.

Simple words to live by. Straight forward and to the point. No hidden meaning there. Just words that say exactly what they mean. I might not be no Saint. I'm just a simple Shepherd in this day and age.

And shepherds we shall be, for thee my Lord for thee, Power hath descended forth from thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command, we shall flow a river forth to thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

No truer words were ever needed to be spoken. The Innocent have little to fear. Those who are the wicked, well, it all had to end sometime for them.
