It Is A Tough Test

Watching a bird flight wonders a child
    Chained to the front porch with fear
Shots sound after sundown
A restless sleepy child dreams of the mountain top
    Awakened only by the hunger
Get your school work done son
    Someday you'll reach the top
But for the impatience of a restless wind
    In no time at all
    It is all undone
Shots sound after sundown-from his own handgun
