Dead horses

Ode to a dead horse beater

through this site
here we gather
to beat the horse
that died in his lather

the subject is whipped
til nothing doth remain
but still our whips
know no refrain

even now we whip
not the horse laying dead
but the new horses
ridden by repliers instead

can we stop this nonsense
can we stop the bloody fray
before there are no more horses
to take us home today ?
