The horse was a peaceful creature
living free upon the plains
Until once they were subjected
to the bridle and the reins
When men had found them useful
to a purpose more malign
They were made unwitting players
to some sinister design
From Pizarro at Cajamarca
and many more since then
The horse employed as weapon
to enslave all lesser men
What could have been for many
instead advantaged only few
Living things or flying machines
for the evil that men do
They shoot horses, don’t they?
Yes, usually in the head,
but would that they should all grow thumbs
and they shoot man instead
