Cowboy Poetry and Western Verse
THE LESSON
By Mike Gombas Sr.
About the flickering fire light
Children sat with upturned faces
Their eyes were aglow with wondrous delight
As the old shaman told stories of faraway places
He spoke of the time when the world began
Remembered in ageless song
That chronicled the ascent of man
Who's eyes were open to right and wrong
He told them about the two beasts within
About their insatiable need
When a child asked, grandfather, which one will win
The old shaman smiled and said; the one you feed
