Dont Talk To Me! Poem by Eric Cockrell

Dont Talk To Me!

Rating: 3.5


dont talk to me about Jesus,
when you wouldnt sit down
and eat with Him...
dont talk to me about patriotism,
the only flag i allow
is the one that burns.
dont talk to me about freedom,
bought with the blood
of Native Americans...
Asians, Africans, Middle Eastern peoples,
and renegade fugitive Irishmen.
dont talk to me about equality,
when you treat your women as possessions.
dont talk to me about morality,
dont even go there!
dont talk to me about sexuality,
when you hide in darkened rooms,
doing things in secret
that dont rhyme your Sunday prayers.
dont talk to me about truth,
and try to sell me the lie!
dont talk to me about fear,
and then try to use it against me.
just... dont talk to me!

Yes Eric. Politics and hypocrisy go often so much hand in hand. I like the brutal honesty in the poem. The greedy politicians trying to gain votes by feigning to be good, abusing the religion to gain popularity. Santorum square. Message to Adeline Foster: Dear Adeline, Eric is talking about politicians He is a very wise man and surely realises none of us are perfect. He is not talking about poeets with great intentions.

Ah come-on, surely there is a subject that you want to talk about or read about. Read mine - We the Unencumbered - Adeline
