Deep in the jungles of Vietnam

Deceptions disguised amongst the calm

A punji trap springs to life

Bamboo cut as sharp as knives

Carefully hidden to avoid detection

Smeared with shit to provoke infection

Dead falls abound and lay in wait

Carefully designed to terminate

In the air, malaria swarms

Arthropods and vipers in toxic forms

Underfoot, in a tunnel complex

My NCO is gone will I be next

Approaching a village

As a tripwire snaps

Below him,

The ground's collapsed

In a hut, door trap slams shut

Bleeding out, his throat is cut

Skinned alive, tied to a tree

I can't see them,

But I know they'll be...

Lurking in the Jungles  5x
