Betrayed By The Soul! Poem by Eric Cockrell

Betrayed By The Soul!

Rating: 2.5


religion,
and capitalism,
both sell the spirit
to numb the soul.
we would construct god
out of victory,
and burn the bodies of defeat.
while men in black masks
kill women and children,
and turn the bodies of color
into nickels and dimes.
hunger feeds on itself
neath the lash and the gun.
they trap the last wolf,
and kill the last whale...
as the spirit grows numb,
betrayed by the soul!

A really great poem, we live in a world that breaks the spirit. We need to change. A great write.

The party of annihilation is needed, to keep the half world rich, thus the other half remains as it is! Preservation! Amen..
