Too Far From the Trail : Cowboy Poetry

written by Poet : oldhoppy26


 

Has America's spirit strayed off the trail?

Have we found what's in every canyon

Or have we failed?

 

Will we let the bad guys win and try no more?

See Lady Liberty as something

To just deplore?

 

Have we seen the elephant grow soft and weak

As the donkey only sits and brays,

But does not speak

 

Or see the wild anger in our horse's eyes

As they promise us those gold cities

And tell more lies.

 

America has strayed too far off the trail—

We wait a great judgment from the West

Cloaked in black veil.
