romeo, foxtrot, shall we dance?

dark green jungle of death
this Conrad hell stealing my breath
apocalypse
now they tell me
finally
the mist rising over an early tree
dawn and the sharp crack of fatality
the beginning of the end
rewound
an angry helicopter sound
full of pain
the dust chokes
the rain
it never ceases
never falls asleep
counting sheep
on the battlefield
morphine arm
buying the farm
destroying the hamlet
without regret
fighting for something
i don't know
as younger men come and go
smelling the blood of madness
a thousand mile stare
while nothing is there
apocalypse
now they tell me
finally
in a trance
shall we dance?
