Original Cowboy Poetry
written by...... R. V. Jahns
"Evolution" I've always believed as the Bible says, that God created the earth
and everything else there is in this universe. But the time has come for me to consider another conclusion, maybe there is something to be said for the theory of evolution............. Now I'm not one to quickly give up on what I believe, But things are going on whose meaning I can't perceive Like last time I got bucked off and landed crooked on my knee, I found the ground to be a lot harder than it ever use to be. And when I bend over to pick something off the ground, either I've grown taller or the ground is further down. Then I noticed in the mirror just the other day, that my hair that once was shiny brown has now turned to gray. I've still got hair on my head but it looks like an old gray mop, and my eyebrows are growing so long I can comb them over the top. My mustache that I so carefully goomed to keep it looking it's best, now just looks gray and drab like a well used packrat's nest. My Levi's no longer fit, I have to hitch 'em when I cough. It's like someone unscrewed my bellybutton and my butt just plum fell off. I use to walk about with pride, stomach in and chest stuck out..... Now I waddle like a crippled goose with a terrible bad case of gout. It seems that I maybe I'm evolving, into what I'm not sure, but I'm getting more aches and pains than those city doctors can cure. I don't mean to be complaining, for it ain't the cowboy way but it seems to me that if it was like some scientists say..... That mankind should be getting better instead of getting worse, but new problems keep cropping up like some kind of curse. Wars and reports of wars coming from everywhere, new sickness and pestilence popping up here and there. Prices keep getting higher and it really is a shame, But it ain't gonna get any better for it's greed that is to blame. Now after thinking about these things, let me tell you what I know. These days were prophesied about in the Bible many years ago. These "Last Days" we're living thru will soon be never more then we can have the peace and security that we all long for. So I'll just continue on and live my life the best way that I can And always try to be quick to help my fellow man. the end. ....written by R.V. Jahns.....
