Once Wild

The horse was born
Outside in the wild
Where hooves have worn
The intentions have riled 

The future running over the land
They consider what lies ahead
And remember the impacts of man
Greater fear of what they dread

Building of cities far and wide 
Have left no room to run free
Forcing the mustang to abide
Their freedom will cease to be

I abhor how they round them up and sell them to the glue factory. It is so sad. A supportive tribute to a beautiful animal Amya. Blessings

Oh Amya, I love mustangs and I love your beautiful and thought provoking poem about these magnificent horses and their place in the our world. They're a symbol of freedom and it's so sad to see them losing theirs.. An expressive and lovely write!
