Equestrian

My kingdom for a horse

That cries out from the generations

That have passed over the eons!

Humanity would not be here

Without the equestrian wonder

That propelled humans from the muck!

The horse made possible civilization

But it also became the motive force

Of wars and conquests!

Masters of the horse

Became rulers of the world!

It was a two-edged sword!

The Two Edged Sword!
