    The Outlaw

    The Dusty old cowboy

    Drags in from a long hard ride

    Headed into town

    A colt strapped to his side

     

    Branded an outlaw

    Is his fortune and fame

    Bankrobber and killer

    It's all in his name

     

    From town to town

    He runs for his life

    He has no family

    No children, No wife.

     

    Dodging bullets

    From east to west

    It's the hype and the thrill

    He loves the best.

     

    Riding with the Gangs

    He robs and steals

    A possee not far behind

    right on his heals

     

    One day a bullet

    Blast right into his chest

    He remembered all the things

    That he loved the best

     

    For the thrill he lived

    For the thrill he died

    For this cowboy has took

    His very last ride

    Good write. I should have been a cowboy. It looks exciting on television. On cowboy shows the good guys always win. Good descriptive poem that puts me on the horse with a six gun strapped on my side.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
