And Then There Were .... None

Heads held high in thunderous flight Across the desert sands of night You ran in freedom's glorious song How could you have been done so wrong Flowing manes of silky sheen Glorious coats of colors seen You lived free upon Nevada's sands To roam the desert free from man Wild horses of the desert's song You roamed your world From dusk till dawn Across the plains and mountains high Your spirits free to truly fly So sadly now there is no song From the desert you are gone Taken by a human's hand You now lay dying in the sand How could their gun be pulled today Oh noble ones I'm sad to say That no reason was there for your death Just cruelty and evil blessed Who pulled the trigger on the gun That now has robbed you from the sun There is a search for miles around One day soon they will be found I wonder what history will have to say Of the travisty of this day So many hearts now cry with mine Cries for justice for this crime Can we ever truly say There will be justice for this day Your spirits free from earth now gone There is no way to right this wrong Your numbers dwindling every year In many hearts it brings a tear To see you now dieing on the sand And know that this was caused by man A true happening Not only once but twice!

:( Poor critters. I hate the way mankind has treated the other occupants of this earth. Good write though.

It is so sad to see the beauty of such an free animal destroyed. Do you know what reason they gave?
It seems like such a senseless slaughter. You wrote about it with such beauty, and passion. Rain..

Oh, wow, this is so wondrous and glorious
it's filled with flowing and passionate words
for the wild and the free as they would roam
through the sands, yet in Nevada.
Your poetry is just magnificent, sending reader to go forth
as your words intilled that into the reader, as though there!
This is just wonderful, beautiful work of art!
Well done Lesa!!
