Lone Star
by Antonio Rocco S. (Rocco Valentini)
Sharp minds wear hard faces Strong arms bear calloused hands. Both are examples of the traces Left by the spirit of a great man. A great man is no grave robber He doesn’t stake his reputation on dead kin. Be a man of integrity and honor For your birth is where your frontier begins. Don’t abandon your part Resist the call of the sirens. Never trade your ace of hearts For an ace of diamonds. Even if you ride as a lone ranger Never throw away your star For you are always in danger From desperados bearing their own scars. There will never be peace Crooked men must learn their lesson. Iniquity will only ever cease When you draw your Smith & Wesson. There is nothing beyond this town No heaven or hell—death is a desert of night. Don’t let desperados turn your town Into a desert of daylight.
