Obsession Connection
Obession connection,
in the jungle in a fight,
See the bullets, yet a coming,
Coming for me, left or right.
Watch the jungle green, don’t blink,
Shut up brain, no time to think,
Life snuffed out in a wink,
Death is coming for me, might,
For some, death becomes obsession,
No avoiding fate, the fright,
Number coming up, the blessing,
Might as well accept delight,
On Kokoda always watching,
Arisaka bullet type,
Hear the click, magazine a rattle,
Bullet coming, death in flight..
Don Johnson
On Kokoda ,
you never stopped a watching,
for a moment,
for death walked in the green,
just a cricket pitch away, {22yards)
the Japanese were seen,
shoot from hip, in that instant,
or death would fall your way,
first shot was the killer,
must be first, or dead today …
