Lonely are the Brave
Justice knew no time to wait
Those two didn't realize but
They were running late
For a destiny that
Would seal their fate
He saw one climb into the wagon
Not doubt hopin'
to shoot behind them
But as soon as the flap
Was thrown back
Justice was there with his rope
Lassoing the unfortunate dope
Justice then pulled his horse full stop
One twin down without even a shot
"Mike!" the other yelled
Seeing his brother felled.
He tried to turn his team around
But instead run his wagon aground
Taking the turn way to tight
the wagon nearly to tip
All you could hear
was the crunch of wood split
The shattered wheel flew
Justice tried to dodge
But a large splinter
Had run his horse through
The horse went down
Taking Justice with it to the ground
But thankfully he was able to rebound
Justice saw red
His favorite horse now lay dead
The other twin had a look of dread
And took cover, Justice just noticed
His shoulder bled.
He pulled a splinter from his arm
Preparing to do some harm
Shots whizzed on by
"I'd throw that gun away
Unless you WANT to die."
"You killed my brother
You're going down."
Ike let out scream
And came running around.
Justice shook his head
At the senseless of it all
He shot the man's leg
He fell but began to crawl
"Give yourself up
There's no way to win."
But then Ike tried to fire again.
He almost managed
To do some damage.
"I gave you a chance
Now you've come to your last dance."
Justice raised his gun
"What's done is done."
A single shot rang out
Justice rolled him over
With the point of his boot.
The man was dead, Justice
Checked the wagon for loot.
It was empty
Just like his win
He went over to the wagon
Putting on a new wheel
Affixing it with a linchpin
He threw the body in the back
Soon he got the wagon on track
Stopping a moment
to throw in back the other twin
exhaustion and blood loss hit him
Causing his head to spin.
"Guess I should have stowed some muffins."
Justice got into the driver's seat.
Now his job was complete
He drove the wagon back to town
Not much of a showdown.
Justice tried to get his bearings straight
But he wasn't in the best of state
He lost his grip on the reins
Feeling another stab of pain
Being thrown from his horse
Did more damage of course
Then the Marshall wished to admit
But for this ride he was obvious unfit
Too bad he won't make it back
His last thought of CG
Her face flickering across his memory
Right before his world went black.
