Wind whistling wisdom through weathered warrant wood,

Sheriff’s steel scratches where it shouldn’t.

Courthouse ink bleeds black—it can’t bleed the spirit clean,

Poster propaganda—parchment ain’t the truth they’ve seen.

⸻

Poster pasted, pressed parchment peeling— Impermanent propaganda, imprinted lies.

Portrait painted—posed and posted, counterfeit composite, fabricated guise.

Paper prophecy pinned to pine—Phantom contrived for public eyes—

Whistlin’ past the lawman’s quill, each inked wanted sign brands lies.

Biased bounty-board branded with bullet-bid bravado,

But the badge can’t bag what the bullet can’t borrow.

Wanted flyers like a price on tomorrow—

But bounty don’t bind when the law is hollow.

Bounty-board brags—bullet-bid bias; Pinkerton payroll buys the hunt,

Lamplight wagers in a dust-stained room—justice brittle, courage blunt.

Liquor-lit legends in the lawless saloon,

Cards crack rapid while the rumors fume.

Ten-to-one odds that I won’t see the sun,

But the myth multiplies when the manhunt’s begun.

I’m the shadow rider, fire’s heir,

Law writes myth, but I ain’t there.

Frame’s just paint on a rotting wall,

Truth rides deeper than their ink can scrawl.

⸻

Nailed to the post, but the frame won’t bind,

Paper can’t capture the outlaw mind.

Price on my head, yet my soul rides free,

Ink fades fast—can’t kill me.

Poster peels when stormwinds tear,

Name may stain, but the legend’s rare.

Hunted through dusk till the gallows call,

Poster’s just paper—I outlive it all.

Poster’s just paper—I outlive it all.

Poster’s just paper—I outlive it all.

⸻

Dustcloud-deputized desperation rising,

Phantom-fabricated figure they’re advertising.

Canyon-echoed crooked claims they’re crying,

Coins corrupt court while they’re lying.

Boot spurs crack on splintered saloon floors,

Chalk outlines wait by the swinging doors.

Tales twist till truth grows thick,

Lines lie with rhetorical tricks.

Revolver resolves in the lawman’s grip,

But legends reload with quicker clips.

Shootouts scripted in their parchment plot,

Yet ink runs thin while truth runs hot.

Wanted in the West, I’m lore in the East,

Every region feeds the legendary feast.

Each word’s a weapon, each verse a round,

Shaking the sheriff, shocking the town.

Bullet bids rise on the bounty-board,

Liquor-lit whispers of a noonday prize.

Spurs cut rhythm in a floorboard hymn,

But the chase don’t start where the poster ends.

They draw in chalk where dust won’t stay,

Caricature saints in a sinner’s play.

Rounds load heavy with a rumor’s breath,

Oaths break easy in a court of theft.

⸻

Myth beats slow like a canyon drum,

Dime-press pages where the truths go numb.

Poster’s a pulpit, rumor’s a stage—

They sketch my face, but can’t cage the sage.

Wanted words can’t weigh my name,

Memory carves where the ink won’t claim.

Legends live longer than the court’s decree,

Whispers turn wildfire, they can’t burn me

⸻

Mythos invincible—pivotal criminal;

Indivisible outlaw—residual literal.

Wanted on parchment, but proof residual—

Ink fades faint, I remain indivisible.

Page-flip / pace-rip / chain-grit (rain-drip),

Name-stick / frame-slip—can’t script this grip.

Lantern-light, phantom flight, canyon night—ignite,

Gun-smoke gospel in a gallows-rigged fight.

Rapid rider, rifle-ring raw,

Rust-bit statutes, counterfeit claw.

Poster’s paper, I’m thunder and steel—

Lightning-cut cadence the noose can’t feel.

Cyclical, critical—myth turns mineral,

Bedrock evidence under the literal.

Dust-choir crescendos, spurs spark flame—

Wanted ink wilts while the witness names.

Rapids of rhyme flood choke points,

Ropes go slack where the truth disjoints.

Speed-of-sound sermon through alkali gust—

Paper combusts; the legend won’t rust.

⸻

Nailed to the post, but the frame won’t hold,

Paper propaganda, but the story’s told.

Price on my head, yet the purpose runs deep,

Promise persists while their posters won’t keep.

Wanted for wisdom, weathered by war,

They hunt for a phantom—find something more.

Frame can’t contain what the fire has forged,

Road writes the record their courthouse ignored.

Road writes the record their courthouse ignored.

Road writes the record their courthouse ignored.

⸻

When the posters rot and the warrants fade,

Canyon echoes guard the oath I made.

Weather-worn truth in a prairie blue—

Wanted ink dies—yet the trail rides through.
