after he would crack the whip
he was sure to flip...

The crack of dawn
   The crack of the bat...
A crack in the pavement
   Fall through the cracks...

Crack cocaine
   A crack fighter pilot...
A clever wisecrack
   That cracked me up...

Crack your knuckles
   Jimmy crack corn
Crack a smile
   Crack the whip...  

To comprehend this little ode
   You have to crack the language code...

crack the whip
crack the unforgiving
whip

slapping down on
hunched backs 

walk and walk,

blood leaves the 
flesh.

fresh wounds met by no
muse 
the trail is cosmic 
the end is none

crack the whip 
crack the bones 
of the slaves 

callous hands 
being swallowed by
virgin mouths 

land is not
pure, nor
furtile 

all blood 
seeps through 
killing the root...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  Cracker


    My roots run quite deep
    crack that whip at the wild cows
    get along doggee

   What is a "cracker"?   Really.
  Worth a look as to where it started.
  Dont be mislead by many false descriptions.
   It may not be what you think.
   Patrick Smith wrote a great book touching on this.
    "A Land Remembered"...

Upon a horse with feathered mane
tricks I do I am not ashamed
rearing on her two back legs
tighter I grasp her reins of red 

Through hoops of fire upon blaze of air
I am the trainer which no compare
 a crack of whip and she will take you there
amazing feats you shall not dare

I am the horse trainer for the circus fair
with long red hair and special flare
upon a horse with feathered mane
tricks performed in glory's dream...

She stares at the flames ,
At how they crack and whip in 
no known direction, 
She watches them dance In the 
wind, 
With no set path,
She envies fire..
For it represents the freedom 
she desires... 
A tear escaped her eye,
She reaches out but the flame 
dies
Realizing that her own breathe 
killed the flame,
She was always holding herself 
back...
Killing the fire within her with 
her own fear,
The fear dwelling in those damn 
tears....

Wanna get on that horse
round up all that herd
lot of work still to be done
what do I do to get you stirred

Come on now let's get going
if you want to get fed
show you deserve a feast
before you get to bed

you young ones like it easy
in my day it was all graft
sweating it out all the day
then you really earned your craft

Sorry if I've been too hard
but experience says crack the whip
in the long term you'll be thankful
a real cowboy makes the trip...
