A Modern Cowboy

I ride to the store on horseback and saddle, I Leave him outside its distasteful to ride indoors, My horse stays there it waits it needs no shackle, I wonder inside my eyes beholden, This world I have found, It shines bright it glows with electricity, I wander I’m lost this place a city, I don’t know where to exist in this modern World, I leave the store now with this plastic holding, My horse I return to, He looks at me with a sight of scolding, I shudder sadly knowing our time has nearly past, We wonder back to the prairie, The horizon crept upon by cities leaving us teary.
