A Common Bond - Past and Present

    Cowboy and Biker
    American Biker Poet

    Cowboy and Biker
    A long, dusty road
    Dismounted respective saddles
    In an effort to unload

    “Where ya headin’?” says Cowboy
    Biker gave a stare
    “Wherever my kickstand sets to rest
    That’s when I know I’m there”

    Both men spoke of rides long past
    Of those yet still beyond
    Of horse, horse power, helmet and hat
    A handshake being their bond

    How lives resigned to freedom’s fight
    Accept all consequences
    How those forsaking freedom’s blood
    Accept a life of fences

    Biker pulled out a well-worn flask
    Two swigs were left, at most
    Told the Cowboy, “One’s for you
    I propose we drink a toast”

    “Here’s to the ladies, pure as day
    Who tried to steer us right
    Here’s to those who made it hard
    The ladies of the night”

    “Here’s to bein’ right with God
    Learnin’ from mistakes
    To fixin’ all the wrong ya can
    Doin’ what it takes”

    A deep voiced drawl bellowed, “Amen”
    A leather vested, “Righteous” replied
    As a long, dusty road beckoned
    For a Cowboy and Biker to ride
