Gaining Ground

- by Linn Barnes

Gaining Ground
-Linn Barnes

Surefooted
gaining ground

We closed on the prey
crippled in the fray

And along with the rest 
brought him down

The first blast to his pride
shamming him for the loser 

He dreaded being and damning him
for the rest of his miserable life

To the junkyard of failure 
and the outhouse of fools
