A Claim Staked

A Claim Staked

A Poem by Zach Knox
"

Pass up the chance on a mistake

"
Fist Fight 
at dawn.

Pistols 
drawn
in the
sand
carry on.

I'm a throwback 
You can only 
ride me bareback

Now for god's sake
let me have my panic
attack
then we can begin
from where we are at?

May he have his panic attack in peace! This little poem made me giggle. Trouble is , the whole world ought to be panicing a bit the way things are going. Nothing wrong with a little bit of panic!
