Gun Smoke Poem by Rob Lamberton
Gun Smoke
Tame my wild land
Encircle my mountain streams
Ring this wilderness
Drive cedar post in my ground
Sing iron nails and notes of steel
Mine my shaft of gold
Stake your claim and guard your own
Guns sing all day long
Thunder shake my rock until
Band together you and me
Fence me with barbed wire
Poke me till I bleed for you
Drive your spike deeply
Hold fast O my hands and feet
Wrap me around your finger
Take my life from me
Strip me of all my beauty
O this land of gold
Return with fields of flowers
And orchard vines untold
Very interesting It's like you sre describing a movie TFS

The old west makes for great metaphors. Brilliant, Rob!
