21st Century Nightmare

Once upon a time, man died in the name of a new frontier
The open range
The undiscovered country
The untamed wilderness
Today, man is dying for a new frontier
The half-acre range
The overpopulated country
The ten-dollar-admission controlled wilderness
Home was once where the heart settled in search of refuge
Home is nowhere now
A frail grasp of an image from a novel or an old film
An idea in the backs of a minds of a dying breed
A dream of those tired of this 21st century nightmare
