WHO WILL SPEAK FOR US — WHO WILL STAND FOR US?

Wild Horses by Monica Ross

We were taken from our home

We lived at peace with the others

There was no issues and yet here we are

Living in solitude waiting to find a home.

Wild Horse in BLM HMA

Will you stand with me?

Will you speak for me?

Will I end up in a nice home?

Or will I end up as just a piece of meat?

Young horse wondering why?

Am I not pretty enough?

Is my beauty not that as others?

Why was I taken from my home?

Only to end up in a place like this.

My freedom robbed from me

By Hoomans who said we were a burden

Said there were too many of us

That we were destroying the land.

Staci-lee Sherwood

Yet they say it is ok if others

Come and stay here

We did not damage anything

But the others have a need more than us.

Will this be our fate?

Heading somewhere we do not know?

Will we ever see freedom again or?

Will we be killed because someone hated us?

Where will it all end?

SO WE ASK YOU ONCE AGAIN

WHO WILL SPEAK FOR US — WHO WILL STAND FOR ME? WILL YOU?
