San Mateo Rubbish Dump

San Mateo Rubbish Dump What was it like when the shooting started? What was it really like? How did it sound from where we were stood Way back then now a rubbish dump But then hills valleys trees grass Enemy positions a battle ground Where such killing wounding history How did it sound when the shooting started? San Mateo Landfill atop Shotgun Road Now full of rubbish back then full of war If we listen can we hear the shots shouts Sounds of war killing death silence… SELL OUT Nick Armbrister new book out soon
