Don't shoot him till he stands 
One so proud, a final plea 
Is his to stay your hands

Will you drag him when he's dead 
Should you tear his flesh and mane 
Leave him there to shed 
His glory in the rain

For when the clouds have risen 
His figure leaves his voice 
Painted in the prison 
Of life without a choice [comments] => 3 [counter] => 130 [topic] => 32 [informant] => LutherSeahand [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry ) Your Poetry Dot Com - Last Stand

When a horse is on his knee 
Don't shoot him till he stands 
One so proud, a final plea 
Is his to stay your hands

Will you drag him when he's dead 
Should you tear his flesh and mane 
Leave him there to shed 
His glory in the rain

For when the clouds have risen 
His figure leaves his voice 
Painted in the prison 
Of life without a choice
