Stuck On The Prairie

They mouth freedom,
So livid at the majesty,
Not seen in the garden.
They want to imagine a brilliant time
When their enterprise
Brings to fruition
Years of hard work.

Until then,
The are like immigrants
In a covered wagon
Stuck on the prairie,
Putting the comfort
Of their opinions away

you know... i live in northern cali,, and it breaks my hear to see what has become of the offspring of those very determined very adventurous souls that risked their lives to get here in covered wagons.. i bet they are rolling in their graves.....

Putting the comfort of their opinions away would be a great thing for some to do. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice weekend.
