Allan Terry Poet Cowboy Poetry

Gibble-Dink Driffle-Dew

THEY OFTEN SAW OTHERS AND OTHERS WAYS
KEEPING THEIR DISTANCE TO OBSERVE AND CRITIC
WHEN THEY UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS GOING ON
THEY BEGINNING PUTTING FACE TO NAMES
UNDERSTANDING AND RECOGNIZING
CREATING HEROS AND JEERING THOSE
WHO THEY SAW AS OBSTACLES TO WHAT THOSE
THEY FAVORED WISHED TO ACHIEVE.
SPREADING THE SUNSHINE OF NEWNESS
THEY FOUND FAULT AND WAYS TO DISAGREE WITH
WHAT THEY KNEW WAS RIGHT
AND BOUGHT WORDS AS TRUTHS TO SPEAK IN
THEIR LIMITED UNDERSTANDING OF THE HAPPENINGS BEFORE THEM.
MIGHT HIS COMPETITION DISAGREE WITH WHAT WE ARE DOING
THEY MIGHT PRAY FOR OUR DESTRUCTION
AND MAKE OUR WELL-BEING UNCERTAIN AND AT RISK.
PEOPLE WHO OPPOSE THE MONSTER OFTEN GETS STEPPED ON.
CAN WE STAND BEFORE THE MONSTER AND ANGER HIM
ONLY TO IND THAT HIS RETALIATION IS FAR GREATER THAN OUR RESISTANCE.
