Bobby Mitchum Poems

Even the most religeous man
may cast away his beads
and take the devils dirty hand
to follow where he leads,
...

There is an old forgotten Soldier
who stands on the corner of our street
dressed in wornout clothing
with broken boots upon His feet.
...

I'm a modern day Cowboy
and the horse that I ride
is an old pickup truck
with a dent in the side.
...

Sittin under a shade tree
just Me and My Old Dawg,
He's chewing on fleas
while I'm sittin on a log.
...

When the last Rebel is silenced
and laid within their grave,
who shall shout for justice
and Our Freedoms strive to save?
...

Weep not, oh gentle heart
when you remember me,
weep not when you pass
those places I used to be,
...

If Darwin was right
and he might have been,
we were once monkey's
instead of Men,
...

I have lost My hair
and lost my gait
I can't remember
what I just ate,
...

Faded photographs on a shelf
or hanging dust clad on a wall
women wearing long dresses
whose names we cant recall,
...

I went down to the nursing home
to visit my old Granny,
She met me at the front door
saying come and join our hootennay!
...
