Evolution Of The Four HorsemenA Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)Just some strong thoughts I have
Unleashed through the gates
of a scroll The product of man’s
destructive force Continuing their ride from
decade to decade Gaining momentum from all
the blood sweat and tears Of those who have no
choice but to serve you. The first riding in on his
white horse I’m only guessing it’s to
look like the hero All the while you use your
bow and arrow to conquer Everything your evil heart
desires And wearing that crown
like you’re the King Of knowing what best for
the world. Out of the shadows comes
the second On a horse of red to hide
the blood you shed With that mighty sword
held so high Letting us think war is
the only way But deep inside your
twisted mind It’s a game of revenge
with money on the side. Now here comes the one
riding his black horse With that scale always
tipped one way Weighted down with money,
power and fame Not giving justice a
chance to balance So I guess the little guy
now pays for your crime Since he can’t afford
anything else. We can’t forget the one
who brings up the rear Riding on a horse so pale
since death is near As a great nation built on
truth, justice and freedom Slowly loses its heartbeat
and gasps for air With the last chance being
life support Until the power goes
___________OUT. I guess so much for the
separation of church and state As you can plainly see
that The Four Horseman That started from biblical
times has evolved Into a Government thing.
