Tree’s rush by at the river’s edge,

Forced breath rushes out of tired lung,

Jagged rocks cut at flesh,

Piranhas bite rips apart,

Blood dying water red,

Wild velvet rapids unfold,

Forging new river beds with untold death,

Village laid to waste,

At edge of sword and conquistadors torch,

Jungle ravaged by war,

Vicious hunters catalogued within,

Ambush set,

Traps sprung,

Agony cries below the tree line,

Assassins wait above,

Dropping poisoned daggers on armored neck,

Slashing, crying, agonizing wails ring out,

From jungle hollow.
