Rhodsesia 1976

Rhodesia 1976


Wasted and wounded and laid on the ground
Empty brass ammo cases lie all around
Four of us faced the foe in this action, alive  
Please god I’m not the only one to survive

All is quite we won this round
Still, I lie here on the ground 
I have tried my wounds to tend
I’m dazed, and trying to comprehend

Helicopter blades above whizz and thump 
Boots on the ground, I hear them jump
A voice overhead says” your OK my friend”
As into unconscious, I do descend
 
Now I lie in a clean hospital bed
I do not know for me what lies ahead
These words are not wrote for me
These are for the absentee
