Honest Thoughts Poem by Eric Cockrell
Honest Thoughts
where do we go from here?
our lives controlled by mechanical arms,
that oppress and drive without conscience.
we've been fed for years on a steady diet
of lies, of half truths, of illusions.
and now the walls of the false kingdom
have come tumbling down...
we have been driven by fear to participate
in their unholy wars... by misguided images
of patriotism... by a graven image of what's
right and wring...
and we're not buying it anymore!
the American dream has crumbled... we're
jobless, homeless, desperate, and hungry!
maybe that's what it took to open our eyes!
they've taken away our hope of a future...
and even worse, our children's hopes. now it's
time for us to stand up and take it back!
It is not something that will be fixed over night. It took quite a bit of time for the damage to be done. And of those of the doing so far had to face very little consequences. A child every once in awhile needs a good spanking. And America is that child. We allowed her to misbehave to long. Their is a fear that we are already to far gone. A rabbit hole so deep. An outlook so bleak. But what can one do but keep trying to get through. This country has a wall of indifference. It slowly crumbling. But will it fall fast enough. We all have it tough, some worse then others. But look forward to the day where I can consider more people like. And be able say they are brothers. They are sisters. They are my family. Races, and cultures not all alike. Stand with me as we together fight.

Downright honest, I like the tone of introspection.
