Timothy John Fitzgerald "Tim" McCoy (April 10, 1891 – January 29, 1978) was an American actor, military officer, and expert on American Indian life and customs.
Born the son of an Irish Union Civil War soldier who later became police chief in Saginaw, he became a major film star most noted for his roles in Western films. He was so popular with youngsters as a cowboy star that he appeared on the cover of Wheaties cereal boxes.
He attended St. Ignatius College in Chicago (now Loyola) and, after seeing a Wild West show there, left school and found work on a ranch in Wyoming. He became an expert horseman and roper and developed a knowledge of the ways and languages of the American Indian tribes in the area. He competed in numerous rodeos, then enlisted in the United States Army when America entered World War I.
McCoy was a decorated soldier in the United States Army during World War I (although not in combat or overseas) and again in World War II in Europe, rising to the rank of colonel with the Army Air Corps and Army Air Forces. He also served the state of Wyoming as its adjutant general between the wars with the brevet rank of brigadier general. At 28, he was one of the youngest brigadier generals in the history of the U.S. Army.
Insect to insect
Existing with no blood
So cold and void
Living in dung
Iridescent liars
So full of poison thoughts
Denial haunts
Their puny hearts
Insect to insect
No need for prophets now
Blind eyes don't roam
Feet hold the ground
Insect to insect
Living a bloodless life
Insect to insect
So many ants in line
Insect to insect
Are we just killing time
We're killing all for ourselves
We're killing all for ourselves
We're killing all for ourselves
Insect to insect
Blue exoskeleton
Some hide below
Some take to flight
Crawling, surviving
Eyes closed to the sky
Solitary wasps
Born to defy
Flight is freedom
Wings spread defiantly
The warrior soars
While Eden dies
Black wings above
The skies are angerless
Earthbound and stricken
Without hope
Solemn they fly
Solitary wasp
Strength of one
Strong in flight
There is a strength to be found
