Outlaw Train

Outlaw Train

a hole in the wall
gang of train robbers
names in the newspaper

like a runaway
the whistle blows
she's out of control

outlaw train
full of hell raisers

like a downhill slide
slipping away
falling down

hear their cries
heading for the dead end

hot lead flies
into the city square
long coats flapping

guns firing
a bank waiting
to be robbed

like a falling mountain
rocks move
to cover you

outlaw train
cursing the day
they caught that train

she's a runaway
leaving desperadoes
lying in the street

shot dead

(c) Dale Clark

Dale,
I love this poem, did you wear your Duster when you wrote this one?
I felt like being a run away this past weekend, this puts all things in perspective. Thank you for sharing
Peace, Love, and Light

This brought to mind, those days when I would race home from school to claim the t.v.( with a houseful of kids, barely did you ever have your chance!)
I loved the show, "The Rifleman" with Chuck Conners, I think I had a crush on his son, Mark, when I was in about the 6th grade.LOL!
The bank robbers were always caught in the end and "The Rifleman" would save the day!
Oh...this was a real past pilferer!
Love and Peace~

Hmmmm, this was so very interesting. Perhaps a tale of Jesse James and his gang?? Enjoy the westerns very much....

Be safe,

You bring the old west and the life of the often inglorious outlaw bandits who lived it to life. Lots of imaginations stirred when reading this one Dale and that is what writing is for.

Warmly,

hear their cries
heading for the dead end

A great Western tale, and probably a very fitting modern day tale, too, Dale. Our entire world seems to be on a runaway outlaw train these days, heading for that dead end far too quickly.
