How wild was the west? <br />How true rang the gold, <br />That men sought and killed <br />For it? <br /> <br />How mighty the steed, <br />And how much mightier <br />The man who rode it <br />And held the law on his hip? <br /> <br />How long the roads of those days? <br />How deep the secrets? <br />Would the spirits of <br />Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp <br />Speak to us in the old saloon?<br /><br />Owen Johnston<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/manifest-destiny-4/
