It’s been a while since I published one of Justice Greg Hobbs’ poems. Here you go:
I AM A WESTERN PERSON
I am a Western person
educated to yellow cactus
flowers and snow
white peaks,California to Colorado,
Alaska to New Mexico,
shaped for beneficial use
born to a higher purpose,We are visitors,
lifetime visitors,
shaped for beneficial use
born to a higher purpose
