Turmoil On the Prairie

Waking to a new day pioneers go about their day doing chores right away. Buggy harnessed and ready children all a play. Up on yonder hill not so far away they see braves in their bright array. They sit and watch the family day by day waiting for the day. Mother hanging laundry out to dry to her dismay sees fifteen braves start riding their way. Yelling for her young ones to come inside as she runs to the meadow to find her love. Running as fast as the wind they here their cries of war. Closer they ride faster on their mighty steeds . Shutters closed guns in hand as they defend their land. Arrows fired as they descend upon the land. Riffle firing loud as he aims in dismay. One down now two but they fight as fierce braves they are. Bullets flying across air sending splinters into the air. Children crying aloud his wife shaking and crying aloud as the braves scream out loud . Then the air is silenced as they disappear off to the horizon they ride away.
