THE LAIR OF RAVEN

by Craig Duehring

A silent figure dressed in green
And dozens like him, most unseen
Walk with mortars, knives and guns
Into the lair of Raven

One by one behind the other
Each a Communist, each a brother
Move, they, the elite - Hanoi's sons
Into the lair of Raven

From routes 7 and 71
Across the PDJ they run
Up against the mountain wall
Into the lair of Raven

Brazen are they, bold for sure
They will whip the Yankee cur
Watch the Meo lackeys fall
In the lair of Raven

Now a hard spot hove 's in view
A hilltop manned by VP's crew
The enemy laughs and prepares to attack
In the lair of Raven

The sudden scream of mortar shells
Accompanied by shouts and yells
Tempts the friendlies to fall back
In the lair of Raven

But overhead they hear a sound
An ominous shadow sweeps the ground
The weak among them turn to run
From the lair of Raven

Suddenly that tiny speck
Speeds a rocket toward the deck
White smoke billows to the sun
In the lair of Raven

Bombs and rockets pound the trail
And CBU falls like hail
Napalm, smothering, covers all
In the lair of Raven

Chaos rears her ugly head
Gathers to her all the dead
Till she holds them one aid all
In the lair of Raven

Silence filters through the trees
The smell of death pollutes the breeze
The grey plane goes from whence it came
Beck to the lair of Raven

Communist armies turn your head
A certain ground you dare not tread
For here abides freedom’s flame
Its called the lair of Raven
