Therefore I Am! Poem by Eric Cockrell

i pray, therefore i am.
i work, therefore i am.
i give, therefore i am.
i get knocked down,
and get back up,
therefore i am.

i love, therefore i am.
i respect, therefore i am.
i stand up, therefore i am.
i speak my mind, therefore i am.
i believe in mankind, therefore i am.
i believe in peace, therefore i am.

not a corporation,
not one of the elite.
not a political power.
not property to be be bought and sold.
i am a human being,
therefore i am.

and i will keep standing here
till the gates of hell fall...
because... i am!
