Too Far From the Trail

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.
