A Cowboy And His Thoughts On Dodge City

In the razor whip and faster gun
  the flaming sun, the fertile fields
     the rose-felt day
   I walked alone
  along the barren street
    beneath bramble shields
A heart that swore to the purest truth
  the eager thrills of wayward youth
With stripped heart allayed
  steps taken and no holds barred
through soggy marsh 
and burnt out corn 
the west stands its ground
from eastern ridge and western sky
my horse knows well the way
 six-guns speak,
roulette wheel creaks
the cowboys force their way
O' please, be thee still
as men attempt to force their will
and looks like no rain today
we wait for dusk and night
death be the greater fright
the dead buried at Boot Hill.

Robert J. Lindley, Aug, 10th 1972
Note- One of the greatest themes in movies is the Western and the cowboy.
Rawhide, Wyatt Earp, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, and others all preached the moral theme of fair play and law and order. Think what theme movies teach today! Certainly not that, imho. RJL
