dead or alive

Buried in the sand
Unknown that you are there
Hidden from view
Not a ripple or mound of dirt

To tell if you are there
No trace that you have been put there
No sound no vibration
No magnetic attraction
On the streets of afganistan

Your buried there we no not where
But you lay in wait for the unsuspecting feet
Bravo zero two your call sign
You marched this way

Your pressure plate awaits you
One foot all it take
And boom your blown away
Dead or alive

You might survive boom your limbs are blown away
