Year Of The Horse Poem by Jordan Aston

It's the year of the horse and celebrations commence
They are strong yet contained within a fence
They are noble and as courageous as can be
Yet regardless of these traits they don't seem to be free

People boss them and make them do work
Yet scold them and punish when they lurk
For they don't see the beauty and strength that horses give
They don't see that being free is the horses motive to live

As some horses gallop and graze with their mothers
Other horses are slaves for the benefit of others
They work to give people money
And people find this funny

But what they don't see is a horses will
They only see an animal, working the mill
But soon they realise as the horse breaks free
What an amazing animal the horse can be
