Image for the poem Family Farm

Family Farm

The cows I herded to pasture  
Are now warehoused by the thousands  
Never seeing the light of day  

Old neighbors' farm houses  
Slowly mold and rot to abandon  
A rusty skeleton is all that remains  
Of the Allis Chalmers tractor I drove  
 
Just as the Sioux and the buffalo  
Disappeared from the prairie  
So, has the family-farm menagerie  
But it will live forever in my memory
