It was women and children
that helped to protect
the wild Spanish Mustangs
the great disconnect
Velma and Dawn
who took up the fight
Against the inhumanity
it wasn’t right
their wildness was beautiful
But sadly man showed
his evil his cruelty
so much blood flowed
until Velma got wind
and fought for them, she
known as “Wild Horse Annie”
and her legacy
stopping the aircraft
the big trucks that chased
the murder of wild horses
it was her, who faced
the men and their cruelty
she did them proud
she cared and she shared
And she dared, a great cloud
Of true positivity
covered her tracks
the BLM was formed
despite the attacks
these wonderful horses
Their wildness their fire
survivors belonging
their nobleness higher
than so many others
muscled and strong
an unbroken line
their lineage long
a great state of wonder
and much admiration
followers loved them
across the nation
enigmatic and puzzling
Characterful
full of mystique and magic
a pull
respectability applause and acclaim
Intrepid and bold
as wild as a flame
kicking the dust
the pluck and the grace
such super stallions
who run at a pace
with all the conviction
and confidence, they
are content with their lot
at the end of the day
