I have always found American history fascinating in all of our legends and tales, tall or not.
Texas 1836 by Michael Doyle Texas, Eighteen Hundred Thirty Six Thousands of Americans invited in Finding their place in desert sand and sticks Engaged in a struggle they would win As Comanches and Karankawa fight To keep their tribal land And though maybe not purely right They would lose; every tribe and band The tension would flare and rise As outlaws roamed throughout free Under many a bloody tequila sunrise It was a mixed tale of freedom and slavery General Santa Anna fought for his land While Jackson forestalled intervention Americans would prevail in their stand Whatever the wrongs and right of intention Texas was forced to become its own nation While Houston and Austin stood to fight Manifest Destiny swept across the nation Though the Mexicans would hold it as not right The Alamo in death and ashes burned As Texas roared up in great flame Some lessons are not easily learned Especially, when mankind's folly is to blame It became a case of hardcore fight and die With Mexicans, Tejanos and Americans cast in lot It was not theirs really to question why But to die if need be for reasons not forgot (c) May 16, 2020 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved
