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.
