Death On The Shore

Raft on the water, sick in the boat

When we cross this forsaken moat.

Blue spray and mist, blood spray on my coat

A hole in a boot and now my foot is soaked.

Deception was key but we had no clue

That those lying wait, had nothing to do

But spy us in boats, trap us between

The barge and the ramp

And the makeshift camp

Of death on the shore.

Who will command, who will lead?

Where to step when we bleed?

Operate now!, our overloard harkens

Run with the wind, make haste before it darkens

Too late for us, our blood has been spillled

Lying exposed gives us a chill

We went to explore

And to discover our core

Don't be sad or sore

For our death on the shore...

We had a choice to live

And an option to give

Our lives--- our precious lives

So please forgive

Our death on the shore.
