The Last Cowboy
By Nevaeh Osborne
Under the sky on the vast prairie land
Stood a tall man with a lasso rope in hand
A hand tanned by the sun
A hand that helped make a country run
He knew not what the future held
But it was on his work that the country sailed
Not just him but many toiled
Only to see what work would soon spoil
By a generation who chose not to care
To pick up the plow and do their share
So what does the future hold for these rotten youth
Only the fate made for those who refuse the truth
Youth! Young one please listen to me
Do not rot away in your foolish fancies
Or sorrow will be your reward
To you who only self cared for
Do not look down on the work of your father
Or scorn the labor of your thoughtful mother
Enjoy your youth wisely while you can
But forget not to take the lasso in your hand
The lasso on which the country ran
