Frontier Tragedy Poem by L MILTON HANKINS

Civilization Crept West Flamed In Scalped Culture Shock Wars wild frontiers were mobile prairie fires expanding flame tragedy struggle violence greed disease death haunts settler migration waves culture shock wars luxury scalped displaced cruelty annihilations Inspired by the poem 'Frontier Tragedy' by the poet L MILTON HANKINS. Dedicated to the poet L MILTON HANKINS.

I wrote the poem 'Frontier Violence Flames In Rage Revenge Cause Effect Ripples', inspired by the poem 'Frontier Tragedy', by the poet L MILTON HANKINS and dedicated to L MILTON HANKINS.

I especially liked the lament in the first three stanzas, the frontiers were mobile hosts of expanding tragedy, struggle violence greed disease haunts migration waves, culture shock in luxury displaced cruelty annihilations

beautifully written, violence might have originated in broken treaties, French Indian wars, alcohol, brutality in European societies imported straight into the colonies; injustice has a host of causes and consequences, the inhumanity of humanity to humanity crosses all cultures and historical periods know with differing degrees of violence in cause effect ripples
