Denim and Western Decline

Denim and Western Decline
by Faye Fox 09/25/2021 0535 hours PST

That big W embroidered on the pockets on the rear
No longer says American as you wrestle down that steer
The west that was once based on beef, God, whiskey, and hope
Is now given way to no responsibility, disrespect, tofu, and dope

Cowgirls once wearing no back pocket jeans called bareback
Graced rodeos as they brushed their horses and got out their tack
Most cowboys controlled their manners, their language, and drama
Reason being, they respected, honored, and deeply feared their mama

They knew their mama brought them into the world and she could take them out
Such revelation kept them focused ------- when they went to the barn to pout
No smart denim donned cowboy ever called his mama an unspeakable name
Changed since biblical times, the rod was now a whip, a quirt, and not a cane

Those days have disappeared, ended, and fled
Except for a few living and several of the dead
You see when denim changed no longer USA made jeans
Many branding irons went cold and pots emptied of beans

Rodeo became a big-time sport not a special ranch holiday
With sponsors promoting commie made jeans just for the pay
Jeans made in China by workers living in poverty and squalor
Gives me rise to step upon my saddle soapbox ---- and holler

@Big Muddy rancher, I just added another verse to it that you might enjoy.

You might have noticed that everything is made in China these days not just Wranglers. At least two trains a day go by here with double stacked containers. Headed east from the ports loaded with things made in China. Trains are 2 miles long.
There are still a lot of home town rodeos. It is just the big time ones get the publicity. And back when I was going 45-50 years ago the cowboys were either the salt of the earth or the scum of the earth and there wasn't many in between. Ones who you could trust with anything and those who you wouldn't trust at all with anything. No shortage in either group.

Yeah. If Jesus had not come when he did, all flesh would have been corrupted. A little extension on time "in time".

But, now again, only divine intervention, very soon, as foretold was/is necessary. The whole place is corrupting itself.

If you will extend time for you posterity (enough to give them place of repentance) pray. Pray without ceasing now.

No by might can we save ourselves. Not by our own power can we redeem our country.

Only by the spirit of a pure heart prayer we can yet move the hand of God for our children and grandchildren (I speak of those who are of accountable age). All the children (Pure in heart) shall see His Face beaming pure love.

Not by might. Not by power. But by MY SPIRIT. Agree with Him there. Holy Redemption.

Well foretold. NOW IS.
