Canyon Girl: a poem

What happened to you, canyon girl?
What happened to that wild soul?
Once was young, in love with life
Free of spirit, born of fire

Traded for domestication
Suburban home, two weeks vacation
You used to paint a pretty picture
Now you help the rich get richer

Once had a heart of shining gold
All strong convictions cheaply sold
Spend your time with a rape apologist
Not exactly your older politics

Where have you gone, unquiet mind?
Is it dullness you now find?

What happened to you, canyon girl?
