The Professional

 

An Original poem by Dr.Michael Lim The Travelling Gourmet TM

Dedicated to all who put their lives on the line in the dark alleys and back streets of the world fighting the bad guys…

 

Always cool

Always calm

Always collected

Always subdued

Always low key

Always low profile

Always thinking

Always analysing

Always collecting Intel

Always resourceful

Always blending in…

Like spooks…

Usually undercover…

 

When things get very BAD…

Bullets fly!

Grenades explode!

Sharp knives slash!

IEDs detonate!

People die.

Horribly.

Painfully.

Dead men do not look noble.

There are NO easy choices.

It is kill or be killed

That is when you need quiet professionals,

By your side,

Guarding your six,

Never running away to leave you to die.

Fighting coolly to the last drop of blood

Keeping you and himself ALIVE!

In one piece.

To S.E.R.E.

 

You don’t need low Calcium, low energy

Careless “cowboys”

You don’t want Rambo wannabee narcissists

Who are naïve

Who want to show off…

Who think they are in an episode of CSI:Miami

Who are in a fantasy virtual world of computer video games…

Life is not a video game.

War is not a Hollywood movie.

There are no SFX

In real life when people get shot professionally,

They drop like sacks of potatoes.

They do not get up again. Not ever.

Be professional.

Stay ALIVE!

And LIVE every second like it is your last!

One day it will be…

As long as it is in your sleep…

It is all good.

Who Dares Wins!  🙂
