HORSES DOWN
THE ROAD (i cried today for the world)
War ships are in place waiting to devastate.
Massive movement of U.S. troops
thirst to maim and murder.
Biological weapons continue to
keep us thinking of slow death.
And i still remember the first time i
noticed one
lone deep brown and pure white
hourse standing tall and beautiful
at the animal hospital
down the road.
Terror attacks have happened
and will happen again in subways
murdering your families.
Planes crash into buildings.
Planes crash into buildings.
Planes crash into buildings!
Spilling/crushing of blood
seems routine casualties of our proud
regime.
Weeks later she gave life.
A stunning colt stood beneath
her identical, sharing life
as well as mother's calm beauty.
From the highway i watched
from beyond plain wood fence
the serene wonder of life
as i sped by...(bye)
News notifies and underscores
dread we have of mass weapons
we pray of and for.....
Day after day she continued
together as her baby relaxed in rich
grass knowing all is
well.
And hoplessness i know.
Death is eminent;
near is running of blood,
sorrow and despair.
Apprehension we all feel as
the world is coming
to blows and we all know
world war three is already
here!
Then under deep blue sky
another adult horse appeared.
Solid calm tan body and dark brown
mane stood stoic. Together sharing
life with mother
and colt nibbling hay.
and i sped by (bye) on highway.
We will die.
We will..
Horses down the way
and i imagined, they
run fields of green life
sharing breathtaking existence
new day after new day.....
Hopelessness...........i know.
