Poetry: Old West

by Beth Dobbs

Created on: July 14, 2008

"Young Man's Lament"

Justice comforts none
When it is they who are to die
There are none who celebrate
When their kin are strung on high
But I belong to no one
Am not a beloved son
Not a soul shall mourn me
After the deed is done
I am not bitter nor do I
Begrudge their victory
I would the same if it were them
Who had sinned and not me.
