Nine wild mustangs canter across the prairie
Old West symbols of animals on free range
Known to them is only one adversary
-- Pounding hooves fade into history’s pages
Magnificent specie appears unwary
Victim of habitat infringement and change
Government roundups so unnecessary
Protection not offered, to the contrary
Mustangs captured and sold for slaughter’s exchange
Deaths of entire herds appear arbitrary
-- Pounding hooves fade into history’s pages
