Something Evil

Tonight I sleep in the jungle Jaguar’s creep through the bush We have dogs to hunt them, but in the end they are no match I pull my poncho over my head to keep the rain out We are not hunting jaguar’s but men The men are on ambush Put in the field to destroy A probe if you will The jaguar is only hunting to live As the night grows colder and the bugs increase their intensity The roar in my ears becomes unbearable Did something move in the bush Was it a taper or a spook? My watch is almost over. Do I dare go to sleep? There is something out there and it is evil…….
